The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the terms of the G.P. Let the first term of the geometric progression (G.P.) be \( a \) and the common ratio be \( r \). The terms of the G.P. can be expressed as: - \( a_1 = a \) - \( a_2 = ar \) - \( a_3 = ar^2 \) - ... - \( a_{101} = ar^{100} \) Given that \( a_{101} = 25 \), we have: \[ ar^{100} = 25 \] ### Step 2: Use the sum of the first 201 terms of the G.P. The sum of the first \( n \) terms of a G.P. is given by the formula: \[ S_n = a \frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r} \] For \( n = 201 \), the sum is: \[ S_{201} = a \frac{1 - r^{201}}{1 - r} \] We know from the problem statement that: \[ S_{201} = 625 \] Thus, we can write: \[ a \frac{1 - r^{201}}{1 - r} = 625 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( a \) and \( r \) From the equation \( ar^{100} = 25 \), we can express \( a \) in terms of \( r \): \[ a = \frac{25}{r^{100}} \] Substituting this into the sum equation: \[ \frac{25}{r^{100}} \frac{1 - r^{201}}{1 - r} = 625 \] Multiplying both sides by \( r^{100} \): \[ 25(1 - r^{201}) = 625 r^{100}(1 - r) \] Dividing both sides by 25: \[ 1 - r^{201} = 25 r^{100}(1 - r) \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ 1 - r^{201} = 25r^{100} - 25r^{101} \] This can be rearranged to: \[ r^{201} - 25r^{101} + 25r^{100} - 1 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Find the value of \( \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} \) The sum \( \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} \) can be expressed as: \[ \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{ar} + \frac{1}{ar^2} + \ldots + \frac{1}{ar^{200}} \] This is also a G.P. with first term \( \frac{1}{a} \) and common ratio \( \frac{1}{r} \): \[ \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} = \frac{\frac{1}{a} (1 - \left(\frac{1}{r}\right)^{201})}{1 - \frac{1}{r}} = \frac{1}{a} \cdot \frac{1 - \frac{1}{r^{201}}}{1 - \frac{1}{r}} = \frac{1}{a} \cdot \frac{r^{201} - 1}{r^{201} - r^{200}} \] Substituting \( a = \frac{25}{r^{100}} \): \[ \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} = \frac{r^{100}}{25} \cdot \frac{r^{201} - 1}{r^{201} - r^{200}} = \frac{r^{100}}{25} \cdot \frac{r^{201} - 1}{r^{200}(r - 1)} = \frac{r^{100}(r^{201} - 1)}{25r^{200}(r - 1)} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( r^{201} \) and simplify From earlier, we know \( r^{201} - 25r^{101} + 25r^{100} - 1 = 0 \). We can use this to find \( \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} \). After substituting and simplifying, we find that: \[ \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} = 1 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( \Sigma_{i=1}^{201} \frac{1}{a_i} \) equals **1**. ---
