The correct Answer is:
To determine if the sequence \(2, 2\sqrt{2}, 4, 4\sqrt{2}\) is a geometric progression (G.P.), we need to check if the ratio of consecutive terms is constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the terms of the sequence:** - Let \(a_1 = 2\) - Let \(a_2 = 2\sqrt{2}\) - Let \(a_3 = 4\) - Let \(a_4 = 4\sqrt{2}\) 2. **Calculate the ratio of the first two terms:** \[ r_1 = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2} \] 3. **Calculate the ratio of the second and third terms:** \[ r_2 = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{4} = \sqrt{2} \] 4. **Calculate the ratio of the third and fourth terms:** \[ r_3 = \frac{a_4}{a_3} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{4} = \sqrt{2} \] 5. **Check if all ratios are equal:** - We found that \(r_1 = \sqrt{2}\), \(r_2 = \sqrt{2}\), and \(r_3 = \sqrt{2}\). - Since \(r_1 = r_2 = r_3\), the ratio is constant. 6. **Conclusion:** - Since the ratio of consecutive terms is constant, the sequence \(2, 2\sqrt{2}, 4, 4\sqrt{2}\) is a geometric progression (G.P.).
