JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2002 - No. 51)
Fifth term of a GP is 2, then the product of its 9 terms is
256
512
1024
none of these
Explanation
$$a{r^4} = 2$$
$$a \times ar \times a{r^2} \times a{r^3} \times a{r^4} \times a{r^5} \times a{r^6} \times a{r^7} \times a{r^8}$$
$$ = {a^9}{r^{36}} = {\left( {a{r^4}} \right)^9} = {2^9} = 512$$
$$a \times ar \times a{r^2} \times a{r^3} \times a{r^4} \times a{r^5} \times a{r^6} \times a{r^7} \times a{r^8}$$
$$ = {a^9}{r^{36}} = {\left( {a{r^4}} \right)^9} = {2^9} = 512$$
