Let bi >1 for i = 1, 2, ..., 101. Suppose loge b1, loge b2, , loge b101 are in Arithmetic Progression (A. P.) with the common difference loge 2. Suppose a1, a2, a101 are in A.P. such that a1 b1 and as1 b51. If = t = b1 + b2 +...+ b51 and s = a1 + a2 + ... + a51· then (A) s > t and a101 > b101 (B) s > t and a101 < b101 (C) s < t and a101 > b101 (D) s < t and a101 < b101 |

Answer» (B) s > t and a101 < b101 a2, a3, ....., a50 are Arithmetic Means and b2, b3, ....., b50 are Geometric Means between a1(= b1) and a51(= b51) Hence b2 < a2, b3 < a3 ..... ⇒ t < S Also a1, a51, a101 is an Arithmetic Progression and b1, b51, b101 is a Geometric Progression Since a1 = b1 and a51 = b51 ⇒ b101 > a101 |
