Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
The sum of terms of the Progression
is .
Reason (R) :
Sum of a geometric series having terms is given by , where is the term and is the common ratio.
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
The sum of terms of the Progression
is .
Reason (R) :
Sum of a geometric series having terms is given by , where is the term and is the common ratio.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
- First, let's verify the sum in Assertion (A):
- We're given: up to n terms
- And it's claimed this equals
- Reason (R) states:
- For geometric series with n terms,
- Where a is first term and r is common ratio
- Let's apply R's formula to the series in A:
,
Which is NOT equal to
- Therefore:
- A is false
- R is true (it's a standard formula)
