Solution

The correct option is D $G_{1} = G_{2} = G_{3} = . . .$
$A_{1} = \frac{a + b}{2}; G_{1} = \sqrt{a b}; H_{1} = \frac{2 a b}{a + b} A_{n} = \frac{A_{n - 1} + H_{n - 1}}{2}; G_{n} = \sqrt{A_{n - 1} H_{n - 1}}; H_{n} = 2 \frac{A_{n - 1} H_{n - 1}}{A_{n - 1} + H_{n - 1}}$
$\Rightarrow G_{1} = G_{2} = G_{3} = \dots = \sqrt{a b}$
