Q. Which of the following is NOT a property of a geometric progression?
-
A.
The product of the first and last terms equals the square of the geometric mean.
-
B.

-
C.
The ratio of the last term to the first term is equal to the common ratio raised to the power of (n-1).
-
D.
The terms can be non-numeric.
Solution
In a geometric progression, the terms are numeric and follow a specific ratio; thus, non-numeric terms do not form a valid GP.
Correct Answer: D — The terms can be non-numeric.
