How many terms of the series 2 + 6 + 18 + ... must be taken to make the sum equal to 728?

Advertisements

उत्तर

Here,a = 2
Common ratio, r = 3
Sum of n terms, Sn = 728

\[S_n = 2\left( \frac{3^n - 1}{3 - 1} \right) \]

\[ \Rightarrow 728 = 2\left( \frac{3^n - 1}{2} \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow 728 = 3^n - 1 \]

\[ \Rightarrow 3^n = 729\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3^n = 3^6 \]

\[ \therefore n = 6\]
