    If\[{{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}},.....,{{a}_{50}}\]are in GP, then \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{3}}+{{a}_{5}}-....+{{a}_{49}}}{{{a}_{2}}-{{a}_{4}}+{{a}_{6}}-....+{{a}_{50}}}\]is equal to:

    A)  0                            

    B)         \[1\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\]                    

    D)         \[\frac{{{a}_{25}}}{{{a}_{24}}}\]

    E)  \[\frac{2{{a}_{1}}}{3{{a}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}},......,{{a}_{50}}\]are in GP. Let common ratio\[=r\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}_{2}}=r{{a}_{n}},{{a}_{3}}={{r}^{2}}{{a}_{1}},......,\]so on \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{3}}+{{a}_{5}}-....+{{a}_{49}}}{{{a}_{2}}+{{a}_{4}}+{{a}_{6}}-.....+{{a}_{50}}}\] \[=\frac{{{a}_{1}}-{{r}^{2}}{{a}_{1}}+{{r}^{4}}{{a}_{1}}-....+{{r}^{48}}{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{1}}r-{{r}^{3}}{{a}_{1}}+{{r}^{5}}{{a}_{1}}-....+{{r}^{49}}{{a}_{1}}}\] \[=\frac{{{a}_{1}}(1-{{r}^{2}}+{{r}^{4}}-....+{{r}^{48}})}{{{a}_{1}}r(1-{{r}^{2}}+{{r}^{4}}-....+{{r}^{48}})}\] \[=\frac{1}{r}=\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\]
