Consider two G.Ps. 2,22,23, and 4,42,43, of 60 and n terms respectively. If the geometric mean of all the 60+n terms is 22258, then k=1nkn-k is equal to:
  1. 560
  2. 1540
  3. 1330
  4. 2600

Solution

Given two G.Ps. 2,22,23, and 4,42,43, of 60 and n terms respectively,

Also given the geometric mean of all the 60+n terms is 22258,

So, 2122.26041·42.4n160+n=22258

230×614nn+12160+n=22258

21830+n2+n=222560+n8

On comparing both side we get,

1830+n2+n=22560+n8

8n2-217n+1140=0

n=20,578

Now k=1nkn-k=k=120nk-k2=n2n+12-nn+12n+16

=202×212-20×21×416=1330
