Which of the following lists of numbers is/are an Geometric Progression :

(A) 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,........

(B) 3, 9, 27, 81,.......

(C) -3, -6, -12, -24,.......

(D) 21, 18,15,.......

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

✅ Correct Option: 1

A geometric progression has a constant ratio between consecutive terms.

In (A) the ratio is $2$ , in (B) it is $3$ , and in (C) it is $2$ as well.

In (D) the terms decrease by a constant difference of $3$ , so it is an arithmetic progression. Hence (A), (B) and (C) only.
