उत्तर

(d) 4 

\[a_2 = 2 \]
\[ \therefore ar = 2 . . . . . . . . (i)\]
\[\text{ Also }, S_\infty = 8\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{a}{\left( 1 - r \right)} = 8\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{a}{\left( 1 - \frac{2}{a} \right)} = 8 \left[ \text{ Using } (i) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow a^2 = 8\left( a - 2 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow a^2 - 8a + 16 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( a - 4 \right)^2 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 4\]
