Let \(a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots\). be a \(GP\) of increasing positive numbers. If the product of fourth and sixth terms is \(9\) and the sum of fifth and seventh terms is \(24 ,\) then \(a_1 a_9+a_2 a_4 a_9+a_5+a_7\) is equal to \(.........\).

  1. A \(600\)
  2. B \(606\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a_4 \cdot a_6=9 \Rightarrow\left(a_5\right)^2=9 \Rightarrow a_5=3\) \(a_5+a_7=24 \Rightarrow a_5+a_5 r^2=24 \Rightarrow\left(1+r^2\right)=8 \Rightarrow r=\sqrt{7}\) \(\Rightarrow a=\frac{3}{49}\) \(\Rightarrow a_1 a_9+a_2 a_4 a_9+a_5+a_7=9+27+3+21=60\)
