If `x, 2x+ 2, 3x + 3 `are in `G.P. ,` then the fourth term is (A) `27` (B) `-27` (C)`13.5` (D)`-13.5`A. 27B. -27C. 13.5D. -13.5

Answer» Correct Answer - D
It is given that
x,2x+2,3x+3 are in G.P.
`rArr" "(2x+2)^(2)=x(3x+3)`
`rArr" "4x^(2)8x+4=3x^(2)+3xrArrx^(2)+5x+4=0rArrx=-1,-4`
So, the G.P. is -4,-6,-9, . . . . .. . . . . . .
Hence, Fourth term `=-9xx1.5=-13.5.`
