Answer:

The number of terms of the G.P. is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the G.P. has first term a, common ratio r and the number of terms n.

The G.P. has first term 2, so a = 2.

Now, the fourth term is 54 i.e. ar³ = 54

⇒ 2r³ = 54

⇒ r³ = 27

⇒ r = 3

Now, the last term i.e. the nth term is= ar^{n - 1} = 486

⇒ 2 \times 3^{n - 1} = 486

⇒ 3^{n - 1} = 243 = 3^{5}

Hence, (n - 1) = 5

⇒ n = 6

So the number of terms of the G.P. is 6 (Answer)

To my knowledge, the answer should be there is no difference since I found the sum, however the answer is something else,
olga nikolaevna [1]
In the first series, the summation applies to the whole (2n+3) inside
the parentheses, so the 3 gets summed up 5 times.

But in the second one, the summation only applies to the 2n , so
the 3 is only added after the summation is finished.

The difference between five 3s the first time and one 3 the second time
is your 12 .
