Solution

The correct option is C $G_{1} . G_{2} . . . . . . . G_{n} = G^{n}$
Here $G = (a b)^{1 / 2} a n d G_{1} = a r^{1}, G_{2} = a r^{2}, . . . . . . G_{n} = a r^{n}$
Therefore $G_{1} . G_{2} . G_{3} . . . . . . G_{n} = a^{n} r^{1 + 2 + . . . . + n} = a^{n} r^{n (n + 1) / 2}$
But $a r^{n + 1} = b \Rightarrow r = {(\frac{b}{a})}^{1 / (n + 1)}$
Therefore, the required product is
$a^{n} {(\frac{b}{a})}^{1 / (n + 1) . n (n + 1) / 2} = (a b)^{n / 2} = {(a b)^{1 / 2}}^{n} = G^{n} .$
