Question Detail
How many terms are there in 2,4,8,16,....,1024
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
It is a GP. with r = 2, ie \begin{aligned} 2^1, 2^2, 2^3... \end{aligned}
If number of terms is n. Then,
\begin{aligned} 2 \times 2^{n-1} = 1024 \end{aligned} =>
\begin{aligned} 2^{n-1} = 512 \end{aligned}
or \begin{aligned} 2 \times 2^{n-1} = 2^9 \end{aligned}
so n-1 = 9 => n = 10
