Question
Which term of the series 5,10, 20, 40,...................is 1280 ?
Answer: Option B
Clearly, 5 × 2 = 10, 10 × 2 =20, 20 × 2 = 40,.............................So, the series is G.P. in which a = 5 and r = 2.Let 1280 be the nth term of the series.Then, 5 × 2n - 1= 1280 ⇔2n - 1= 256 = 28 ⇔ n - 1 = 8 ⇔ n = 9
