In a geometric progression, the first term is (4) and the fifth term is (324). If (r) is positive, what is (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3

The nth term of a geometric progression is aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹. Hence, for the fifth term, 4r⁴ = 324. So, r⁴ = 81 = 3⁴. Since r is stated to be positive, r = 3. Although r = −3 also gives r⁴ = 81, it is not positive. Exam tip: in the fifth term, the power of r is 4, not 5.
