  2. B \(78\)
  3. C \(91\)
  4. D \(84\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(78\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{T}_2+\mathrm{T}_6=\frac{70}{3} \) \( \mathrm{ar}+\mathrm{ar}^5=\frac{70}{3} \) \( \mathrm{~T}_3 \cdot \mathrm{T}_5=49 \) \( \mathrm{ar}^2 \cdot \mathrm{ar}^4=49 \) \( \mathrm{a}^2 \mathrm{r}^6=49 \) \( \mathrm{ar}^3=+7, \mathrm{a}=\frac{7}{\mathrm{r}^3} \)…
