Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { a, ar, } a r^2 \rightarrow \text { G.P. }\) Sum of any two sides \(>\) third side \( a+a r>a r^2, a+a r^2>a r, a r+a r^2>a \) \( r^2-r-1<0 \) \( r \in\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) \) \( r^2-r+1>0\) \(............(1)\) always true…
