ASame throughout
BSold throughout
CSplit throughout
DSpent throughout
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Same throughout
1. What makes a progression geometric is a constant ratio.
2. That ratio has to hold at every step, not just the first.
3. A sequence is a geometric progression if the ratio of any term to its preceding term is same throughout.
4. So the answer is same throughout.
