Let 3 geometric means G 1 , G 2 , G 3 are inserted between two positive number a and b such that
= 2, then 
equal to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
If a, G 1 , G 2 , G 3 , b are in G.P. with common ratio equal to 'r' then G 1 – a, G 2 –G 1 , G 3 – G 2 , b–G 3 are also in G.P. with same common ratio ⇒ 
= 2 ⇒ 
= r 4 = 16
