What is the (4)th term of the geometric progression (8,24,72,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (216)

The direct answer is option C, 216. This is a geometric progression because the common ratio is \(24\div8=3\), and \(72\div24=3\). The nth-term formula is \(a_n=ar^{n-1}\). For the fourth term, \(a_4=8 imes3^{4-1}=8 imes3^3=8 imes27=216\). Direct continuation gives the same result: 8, 24, 72, then \(72 imes3=216\). Option A, 144, is not three times 72 and does not follow the pattern. Option B, 196, also has no correct relation to the common ratio. Option C, 216, is correct because it is the next term after multiplying 72 by 3. Option D, 288, is too large and results from an incorrect multiplication or exponent. Remember: count the jumps from the first term; to reach the fourth term, multiply by the ratio three times.
