In a geometric progression consisting of positive terms, each term equals the sum of the next two terms. Then, the common ratio of this progression equals

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{1}{2}\left( {\sqrt 5 - 1} \right)

Option D (

\frac{1}{2}\left( {\sqrt 5 - 1} \right)

) is correct because it is the positive root of the quadratic equation derived from the given condition of the geometric progression.

A-(B \cap C)

(iii)

(B \cup C)-A

a,b,c

are in A.P.;

a,x,b

are in G.P. and

b,y,c

are in G.P., then

are in Suppose

P(x)=1-x+x^2-x^3+\ldots+x^{2012}

is expressed as a polynomial in

y

, as

Q(y)=a_0+a_1 y+\ldots+a_{2012} y^{2012}

where

y=x-2
