Let a1,a2,a3, be a G.P. of increasing positive terms. If a1a5=28 and a2+a4=29, then a6 is equal to:
- 812
- 784
- 628
- 526
Answer
(2) 784
Solution
In a G.P. a1a5=a2a4=a32, so a2a4=28 and a2+a4=29.
a2, a4 are the roots of x2-29x+28=0: 1 and 28 (increasing G.P.)
a2=1, a4=28, r2=28
a6=a4r2=28 28=784
Answer: (2)
