Detailed Solution

Let the sequence of GM be a,ar,a r 2 ,a r 3 ,a r 4 ,a r 5 ,a r 6 ,...  . We know that, a= 32 3   and a r 6 = 243 2  .
To find r, divide the sixth term by first term, we have
a r 6 a = 243 2 32 3 r 6 = 729 64 r 6 = 3 6 2 6 r= 3 2  
Substitute the value of a and r in the sequence, and we have
Question ImageThe formula for the sum of the geometric mean is given by,
S=a r n 1 r1 =16 3 2 5 1 3 2 1 =16 243 32 1 1 2 =32× 211 32 =211  
Hence, the correct option is 1.
