What is the value of a₅ + a₆ for the geometric progression (4, 16, 64, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5120

The governing concept is the general term of a geometric progression. The first term is a = 4 and the common ratio is r = 16/4 = 4. The nth term is a_n = ar^(n-1). Therefore a_5 = 4 × 4^4 = 4 × 256 = 1024, and a_6 = 4 × 4^5 = 4 × 1024 = 4096. Adding these two required terms gives a_5 + a_6 = 1024 + 4096 = 5120. Hence option B is correct. Option A is only a_6, so it omits a_5. Options C and D are larger sums that do not follow from the specified two terms. Finding each requested term before adding prevents confusing a term with the sum of terms.
