A and B are two number whose AM is 25 and GM is 7. Which of the following may be a value of A?

Let term = l = ar^{n - 1} a = 5 and l = 20480
r = 20/5 = 4
? 20480 = 5 x (4)^n-1
(4)^n-1 = 20480/5 = 4096 = (4)⁶
n - 1 = 6
? n = 7

The nth term of a GP is ar^{n - 1} ,
5th term = ar^{5 - 1} = ar⁴ = 81
1st term = a = 16
? r⁴ = 81/16
? r = ?81/16 = 3/2
? 4th term = ar^{4 - 1} = ar³ = 16 x 3/2 x 3/2 x 3/2 = 54

Given, F = 2E + 4Y ...(I)
?EY = 4?3
? EY = 48 ...(II)
and 2EY/ E + Y = 6 ? E + Y = 16 ...(III)
Now, (E -Y)² = (E + Y)² - 4EY
= (16)² - 4 x 48
= 256 - 192 = 64
? E - Y = 8 ...(iv)
From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
E = 12 and Y = 4
From Eq. (i) F = 2 x 12 + 4 x 4 = 40 yr

This is a GP with a = 5 , r = 15/5 = 3, n = 7
S_n = a(rⁿ - 1 )/(r - 1)
? S₁₅ = 5(3⁷ - 1)/(3 - 1)
= 5/2(3⁷ - 1)
= 5/2 (2187 - 1)
= ? 5465

The number of bacteria at any given time forms a GP whose terms are given by 50, 100, 200, ... where
a = 50, r = 100/50 = 2
T_n = ar^{n -1}
? T₁₂ = 50(2)^{12 - 1}
= 50 x (2)¹¹
= 102400
So, the number of bacteria born in 12th hour is 102400.

The second and fourth term of the HP are 1/6 and 1/14 respectively,
Hence, for the corresponding AP, the second term is 6 and fourth term is 14.
Hence a + d = 6 and a + 3d = 14
? 2d = 8
? d = 4 and a = 2

Hence, the 10th term of this AP = a + (10 -1)d
= 2 + (10 - 1)x 4 = 2 + 9 x 4
= 2 + 36 = 38
Hence, for the corresponding HP, the 10th term is 1/38.

T₅ = a + 4d, T₇ = a + 6d
? 5(a + 4d) = 7(a + 6d)
? 5a + 20d = 7a + 42d
? a = -11d
? T₁₂ = a + 11d = - 11d + 11d = 0
So, the twelfth term is 0.

Series pattern
2 x 1², 2 x 2², 2 x 3², 2 x 4², 2 x 5², 2 x 6²
? Missing term = 2 x 4² = 32

Series pattern
1³ + 1, 3³ + 1, 4³ + 1, 5³ + 1
? Missing term = 6³ + 1 = 217

Series pattern
x 2 + 5, x 3 + 5, x 4 + 5, x 5 + 5,
? Missing term = 104 x 4 + 5 = 416 + 5 = 421
