What is the value of r in the geometric progression 15, 45, 135, 405, ...?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3

The common ratio of a geometric progression is the quotient obtained by dividing any term by the immediately preceding term. Using the first two terms, r = 45 ÷ 15 = 3. The result is verified by the later pairs: 135 ÷ 45 = 3 and 405 ÷ 135 = 3. Since the quotient remains constant, the sequence is indeed geometric and its common ratio is 3. Therefore option B is correct. If r were 2, the second term after 15 would be 30; if r were 5, it would be 75. Option D, 15, is the first term rather than the multiplier. Checking several consecutive pairs prevents confusing a term with the ratio.
