Over ten generations, a person's ancestors sum to 2046, computed using the sum formula of a:
- Geometric progression
- Arithmetic progression
- Fibonacci sequence
- List of prime numbers
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Geometric progression
1. 2, 4, 8 and so on double each time.
2. Doubling means a constant ratio.
3. So the G.P. sum formula gives 2046.
