જો સમગુણોત્તર શ્રેણીના દ્વિતીય, તૃતીય અને ચતુર્થ ધન પદોનો સરવાળો \(3\) અને તેનો છઠ્ઠું, સાતમું અને આઠમા પદોનો સરવાળો \(243\) હોય તો આ શ્રેણીમાં પ્રથમ \(50\) પદો સુધીનો સરવાળો કેટલો થાય ?

A \(\frac{2}{13}\left(3^{50}-1\right)\)
B \(\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{50}-1\right)\)
C \(\frac{1}{13}\left(3^{50}-1\right)\)
D \(\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{49}-1\right)\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{26}\left(3^{50}-1\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let first term \(=a>0\) Common ratio \(=r>0\) \(ar + ar ^{2}+ ar ^{3}=3\) \(ar ^{5}+ ar ^{6}+ ar ^{7}=243\) \(r^{4}\left(a r+a r^{2}+a r^{3}\right)=243\) \(r^{4}(3)=243 \Rightarrow r=3\) as \(r>0\) from (1) \(3 a+9 a+27 a=3\) \(a=\frac{1}{13}\)…

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
