Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find which term of the geometric progression (G.P.) 2, 8, 32, ... is equal to 131072, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term (A) and the common ratio (R) The first term \( A \) of the G.P. is 2. The second term is 8. To find the common ratio \( R \), we can use the formula: \[ R = \frac{\text{Second term}}{\text{First term}} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] ...
