Question

Which of the following is a geometric series? 6 13 20 27 7 21 35 45 14 21 28 35 2 14 98 686

Answer 1

The geometric series will be D. 2 + 14 + 98 + 686 because it is having a common ratio 7.

What is geometric series?

In mathematics, a geometric series is the sum of an infinite number of terms that have a constant or common ratio between successive terms

A. 6 + 13 + 20 + 27 .

the difference between two terms are 13-6 = 7 , 20-13= 7

The terms are increasing by 7. So it is not geometric

B. 7 + 21 + 35 + 45

the difference between two terms are 21-6 = 14 , 35-21= 14

The terms are increasing by 14. So it is not geometric

C. 14 + 21 + 28 + 35

the difference between two terms are 21-14 = 7 , 28-21= 7

The terms are increasing by 7. So it is not geometric

D. 2 + 14 + 98 + 686

Here the difference is not same, so we find the ratio

14/2= 7

98/14= 7

686/98= 7

So common ratio is 7

When the common ratio is same then it is Geometric series

Hence the geometric series will be D. 2 + 14 + 98 + 686 because it is having a common ratio 7.
