alleryFor a sequence to be a geometric progression, each of its terms must be:
ANon-prime
BNon-zero
CNon-round
DNon-equal
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Non-zero
1. A geometric progression divides one term by the previous one.
2. That division has to be possible at every step.
3. A sequence is called geometric progression if each term is non-zero and the ratio is constant.
4. So every term must be non-zero.
