Question

Verify whether the following sequence is G.P. If so, write tn: 

7, 14, 21, 28, ...

Sum

Solution

7, 14, 21, 28, ...
t1 = 7, t2  14, t3 = 21, t4 = 28, ...

Here, `"t"_2/"t"_1 = 2, "t"_3/"t"_2 = 3/2, "t"_4/"t"_3 = 4/3`

Since, `"t"_2/"t"_1 ≠ "t"_3/"t"_2 ≠ "t"_4/"t"_3`

∴ the given sequence is not a geometric progression.
