The $6^{th}$ term of a $G.P.$ is $32$ and its $8^{th}$ term is $128$, then the common ratio of the $G.P.$ is

A

$-1$

B

$2$

C

$4$

D

$-4$

Solution

(b) ${T_6} = 32$ and ${T_8} = 128$

$\Rightarrow a{r^5} = 32$ …..$(i)$

and $a{r^7} = 128$ …..$(ii)$

Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i),$ ${r^2} = 4$

==> $r = 2.$
