Correct Answer

(D) \(211\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\frac{a}{r}, \frac{a}{r}, a, a r, a r^2\) \(\text { Given } \frac{a}{r^2}+\frac{a}{r}+a+a r+a r^2=5 \times \frac{31}{10}\) \(\text { And } \frac{r^2}{a}+\frac{r}{a}+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{a r}+\frac{1}{a r^2}=5 \times \frac{31}{40}\)…
