Question
How many terms of the G.P. 3, 3/2, 3/4, ... be taken together to make \[\frac{3069}{512}\] ?
Solution
Here, a = 3
Common ratio,
\[r = \frac{1}{2}\]
Sn = \[\frac{3069}{512}\]
\[\therefore S_n = 3\left\{ \frac{1 - \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n}{1 - \frac{1}{2}} \right\}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{3069}{512} = 3\left\{ \frac{1 - \frac{1}{2^n}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right\} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{3069}{512} = 6 \left\{ 1 - \frac{1}{2^n} \right\}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{3069}{3072} = 1 - \frac{1}{2^n} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2^n} = 1 - \frac{3069}{3072} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2^n} = \frac{3}{3072}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2^n = \frac{3072}{3}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2^n = 1024 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 2^n = 2^{10} \]
\[ \therefore n = 10\]
