JEE MATHEMATICS MCQ: SEQUENCE OF SERIES

1 Easy

1 of 1

Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: If each term of a G.P. is multiplied or divided by some fixed non-zero number, the resulting sequence is also a G.P.

Reason: If

-1 < r < 1

, i.e.

|r| < 1

, then the sum of the infinite
G.P.,

a+a r+a r^2+

=\frac{a}{1-r}

i.e.,

S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion

Option B (Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion) is correct because while both statements are true, the reason (sum of infinite GP) doesn't explain the assertion (multiplying/dividing a GP).
