  4. D consecutive integers
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) in GP

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(225=3^{2} \times 5^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow d(225)=3 \times 3=9\) \(1126=3^{2} \times 5^{3}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad d(1125)=3 \times 4=12\) and \(640=2^{7} \times 5\) \(\Rightarrow \quad d(640)=8 \times 2=16\) Hence, 9,12 and 16 are in GP.
