What is the sum of the first 6 terms of the geometric progression (3, 9, 27, 81, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1092

The governing concept is the finite sum of a geometric progression. The first term is a = 3, the common ratio is r = 3, and six terms are required. Because r ≠ 1, use Sₙ = a(rⁿ − 1)/(r − 1). Substitution gives S₆ = 3(3⁶ − 1)/(3 − 1) = 3(729 − 1)/2 = 3 × 728/2 = 1092. A direct verification lists the terms as 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, and 729; adding them gives 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243 + 729 = 1092. Therefore option A is correct. The nearby alternatives 1093, 1095, and 1098 are not valid sums and could result from an addition slip, an incorrect power, or an arbitrary adjustment.
