A1 or just a as it is in the equations is just the initial term of the sequence. In this case a1=1
r is the common ratio which is that constant ratio found by dividing any term by the term preceding it...
In this case r=3/1=9/3=27/9=etc=3
So a1=1 and r=3, C. is your answer.

Multiply both sides by 2: b=12
Answer= 12 books
