If a = 8, r = 4, and S₄ = 680, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: True because S₄ = 680

The relevant concept is the sum of the first four terms of a geometric progression. Since r = 4 is not 1, use Sₙ = a(rⁿ − 1)/(r − 1). With a = 8 and n = 4, S₄ = 8(4⁴ − 1)/(4 − 1) = 8(256 − 1)/3 = 8 × 255/3 = 8 × 85 = 680. A direct check gives the terms 8, 32, 128, and 512; adding them yields 8 + 32 + 128 + 512 = 680. Consequently, the stated value is true and option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect totals. They may reflect a wrong power, omission or alteration of a term, or a simple arithmetic error, but none agrees with both the formula and direct addition.
