What is the sum of the first 7 terms of the geometric progression (1, 3, 9, 27, …)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1093

This uses the finite geometric-series sum formula. For a GP with first term a and ratio r ≠ 1, Sₙ = a(rⁿ − 1)/(r − 1). In this sequence, a = 1, r = 3 and n = 7. Thus S₇ = 1(3⁷ − 1)/(3 − 1) = (2187 − 1)/2 = 2186/2 = 1093. Therefore option A is correct. A useful verification is to add the terms directly: 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243 + 729 = 1093. Option B is one less than the correct total and may result from subtracting incorrectly; option C has no valid calculation behind it, while option D is only the seventh term, not the sum of all seven terms.
