If (6,18,54,\ldots) is a geometric progression, what is the value of (a_5-a_3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 432

The first term of this GP is 6 and the common ratio is 3. Thus, \(a_3=6\times 3^2=54\) and \(a_5=6\times 3^4=486\). Therefore, \(a_5-a_3=486-54=432\). Option 486 is only the fifth term, not the required difference. Exam tip: use \(a_n=ar^{n-1}\) to find the required terms of a GP.
