If G is the GM of the product of r sets of observations with geometric means G1,G2,…,Gr respectively, then G is equal to

A
$\log G_{1} + \log G_{2} + \dots + \log G_{r}$
B
$G_{1} \cdot G_{2} \cdot \dots \cdot G_{r}$
C
$\log G_{1} \cdot \log G_{2} \dots \log G_{r}$
D
none of these

Solution:

Taking X as the product of varieties $X_{1}, X_{2}, \dots, X_{r}$ corresponding tor sets of observations i. e. $X = X_{1} X_{2} \dots X_{r}$ we have

$\begin{array}{l} \log X = \log X_{1} + \log X_{2} + \dots \log X_{r} \\ \Rightarrow \sum \log X = \sum \log X_{1} + \sum \log X_{2} + \dots + \sum \log X_{r} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{n} \sum \log X = \frac{1}{n} \sum \log X_{1} + \frac{1}{n} \sum \log X_{2} + \dots + \frac{1}{n} \sum \log X_{r} \\ \Rightarrow \log G = \log G_{1} + \log G_{2} + \dots + \log G_{r} \\ \Rightarrow G = G_{1} G_{2} \dots G_{r} . \end{array}$

If G is the GM of the product of r sets of observations with geometric means $G_{1}, G_{2}, \dots, G_{r}$ respectively, then G is equal to
