Question

The second; third and sixth terms of an A.P. are
consecutive terms of a G.P. The common ratio
of the G.P. is-
(A) 1
(B)3
(C)-1
(D)-3​

Answer 1

Answer:

options b is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose that term of ap is a+d, a+2d,a+5d

show the terms in GP

$( {a + 2d})^{2} = (a + d)(a + 5d)$

and find relation between a and d

2ad=-d^2

$r = \frac{a + 2d}{a + d}$

put the value of a in upper formula and find r
