MCQ

उत्तर

\[a_n = 128, S_n = 225 \text{ and } r = 2\]
\[ a_n = 128\]
\[ \therefore a r^\left( n - 1 \right) = 128\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2^\left( n - 1 \right) a = 128\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2^n a}{2} = 128\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2^n = \frac{256}{a} . . . . . . . . (i)\]
\[\text{ Also }, S_n = 225\]
\[ \Rightarrow a\left( \frac{r^n - 1}{r - 1} \right) = 225\]
\[ \Rightarrow a\left( \frac{2^n - 1}{2 - 1} \right) = 225\]
\[ \Rightarrow a\left( \frac{256}{a} - 1 \right) = 225 \left[ \text{ Using } (i) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow 256 - a = 225\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 256 - 225\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 31\]
