Put n = 1, now the sum of the series = 1.2.4 = 8
Put n = 1, in the options
(a) 1(1 + 1) (1 + 2) = 6
(b) 1(1 + 1)/12 x (3 + 19 + 26) = 8
(c) (1 + 1) (1 + 2) (1 + 3)/4 = 6
(d) 1(1 + 1) (1 + 2) (1 + 3 )/3 = 8
As, the sum of series = 8
Hence, option (a) and (c) can be rejected.
Now, put n = 2
Sum 1. 2. 4 + 2 . 3 . 5 = 38
Put n = 2, in option (b)
2(2 + 1)/12 (3 x 4 + 19 x 2 + 26)38
Hence, (b) is the correct option.
Let a be the first term and and r be the common ratio of the GP. From the given problem,
a + arn - 1 = 66 ...(i)
Also, ar x arn - 2 = 128 ? a2rn - 1 = 128 ... (ii)
From Eq. (ii),
a.arn - 1 = 128
arn - 1 = 128/ a
On substitution this in Eq.(i), we get
a + 128/a = 66
a2 - 66a + 128 = 0
a = [-b ± ?b2 - 4ac] /2a
= 66 ± ?662 - 4 x 128 x 1)/2 = 64 or 2
The 1st term of an HP is 1/17 .
Hence, for the corresponding AP, the terms is 17 .
Here, a = 17
nth term of an AP is given by Tn = a + (n -1)d
? T2 = 17 + d, T4 = 17 + 3d
T5 = 17 + 4d, T6 = 17 + 5d
? (17 + d) (17 + 3d) = (17 + 4d) (17 + 5d)
? 289 + 51d + 17d + 3d2 = 289 + 85d + 68d + 20d2
? 68d + 3d2 = 153d + 20d2
? 17d2 = -85d
? d = -5
? 3rd term is T3 = a + 2d = 17 + 2(-5)
= 17 - 10 = 7
Hence, for the corresponding HP, the 3rd term is 1/7.

2 x 3 + 5 = 11, 11 x 4 - 6 = 38
38 x 5 + 7 = 197, 197 x 6 - 8 = 1174
Should come in place of 1172
1174 x 7 + 9 = 8827
8827 x 8 - 10 = 65806
Clearly, 1172 is wrong and will be replaced by 1174.

17 + 22 = 21 ; 21+ 32 = 30;
30 + 42 = 46 ; 46 + 52 = 71
71 + 62 = 107
Clearly, 19 is wrong and will be replaced by 17.
Series pattern 4 x 0.5 = 2
2 x 1.5 = 3

3 x 2.5 = 7.5
7.5 x 3.5 = 26.25
26.25 x 4.5 = 118.125
Clearly, 3.5 is wrong and is replaced by 3.
