Solution

The correct option is A (qppq)1pq
Let first four and common ratio of G.P series be a and r respectively
pthterm=qarp1=q........1
qthterm=parq1=p..........2
1÷2
arp1arq1=pq
or, arp1q+1=pqr=(qp)1pq
Putting value of r in 1
arp1=q
Or, a(qp)p1pq=q
Or, a=q(pq)p1pq
p+qthterm=arq1
=q(pq)p1pq(qp)p+q1pq
=q1p1pq+p+q+1pq×pp1pqp+q+1pq
=qpqp+1+p+q1pq×pp1pq+1pq
qppq×qqpq
=(qppq)1pq Ans
