Correct answer: D: 300
-
Let the G.P. have first term and common ratio .
Then with and, since all terms are positive, .
-
Sum of even-indexed terms from to :
Now,
So this is a G.P. with first term and ratio . Hence,
-
Sum of odd-indexed terms from to :
Here,
So,
-
Divide equation (2) by equation (1):
-
But if , then the G.P. terms are increasing, and the sum of odd terms from onward being twice the even terms from onward is consistent. However, let us directly relate the two sums termwise:
Since and the two sums are over corresponding 100 terms,
Hence,
-
Now we need
We are given only and .
Observe that and
These differ by removing and adding :
Since , is huge compared to , so this cannot lead to one of the small options unless the intended question was likely in which case
-
Therefore, from the data as written, the consistent direct conclusion is that the odd-indexed shifted sum is , even-indexed sum is , giving ratio , but then none of the options fit naturally for unless there is a typo.
If one interprets the intended first sum as the sum of odd terms among the first 200 terms, then
