Solution

The correct option is B $a_{7} a_{18} = a_{19} q_{10}$
$a_{10} = a_{1} + 9 d = 2 + 9 d = 3 ∴ d = 1 / 9$ ...................(1)
$q_{10} = q_{1} r^{9} = 2 r^{9} = 3 ∴ r^{9} = 3 / 2$ ............(2)
Now $a_{7} q_{19} = (2 + 6 d) 2 r^{18} = (2 + \frac{6}{9}) .2 \frac{9}{4}$
= $9 + 3 = 12$ by (1) and (2) .............(3)
Above is an integer. Hence (a) is ruled out
$a_{19} q_{10} = (2 + 18 d) 2 r^{6} = (2 + 18. \frac{1}{9}) .2 . \frac{3}{2}$
= $4.3 = 12$ by (1) and (2)
= $a_{7} q_{19}$ by (3)
Therefore, $a_{7} a_{18} = a_{19} q_{10}$
