Correct answer: D

  1. Write the G.P. in standard form

Let the G.P. be an=arn−1a_n = ar^{n-1}an​=arn−1 with a>0a>0a>0 and, since the terms are increasing positive numbers, we have r>1.r>1.r>1.

  1. Use the condition on the 6th and 8th terms

We have a6+a8=ar5+ar7=ar5(1+r2)=2.(1)a_6+a_8=ar^5+ar^7=ar^5(1+r^2)=2. \qquad (1)a6​+a8​=ar5+ar7=ar5(1+r2)=2.(1)

  1. Use the condition on the 3rd and 5th terms

Also, a3a5=(ar2)(ar4)=a2r6=19.(2)a_3a_5=(ar^2)(ar^4)=a^2r^6=\frac19. \qquad (2)a3​a5​=(ar2)(ar4)=a2r6=91​.(2)

From (2), ar3=13ar^3=\frac13ar3=31​ because a>0,r>0a>0, r>0a>0,r>0.

  1. Substitute into equation (1)

Since ar5=(ar3)r2=13r2,ar^5=(ar^3)r^2=\frac13 r^2,ar5=(ar3)r2=31​r2, we get from (1): 13r2(1+r2)=2.\frac13 r^2(1+r^2)=2.31​r2(1+r2)=2. So, r2(1+r2)=6.r^2(1+r^2)=6.r2(1+r2)=6. Let x=r2x=r^2x=r2. Then x+x2=6x+x^2=6x+x2=6 x2+x−6=0x^2+x-6=0x2+x−6=0 (x−2)(x+3)=0. (x-2)(x+3)=0.(x−2)(x+3)=0. Since x=r2>0x=r^2>0x=r2>0, we get r2=2.r^2=2.r2=2. Hence r=2.r=\sqrt2.r=2​.

Also, from ar3=13ar^3=\frac13ar3=31​, a=13r3.a=\frac{1}{3r^3}.a=3r31​.

  1. Compute a2+a4a_2+a_4a2​+a4​ and a4+a6a_4+a_6a4​+a6​

We have a2=ar,a4=ar3,a6=ar5.a_2=ar, \quad a_4=ar^3, \quad a_6=ar^5.a2​=ar,a4​=ar3,a6​=ar5. Thus, (a2+a4)=ar+ar3=ar(1+r2),(a_2+a_4)=ar+ar^3=ar(1+r^2),(a2​+a4​)=ar+ar3=ar(1+r2), (a4+a6)=ar3+ar5=ar3(1+r2).(a_4+a_6)=ar^3+ar^5=ar^3(1+r^2).(a4​+a6​)=ar3+ar5=ar3(1+r2). Therefore, (a2+a4)(a4+a6)=a2r4(1+r2)2.(a_2+a_4)(a_4+a_6)=a^2r^4(1+r^2)^2.(a2​+a4​)(a4​+a6​)=a2r4(1+r2)2.

So, 6(a2+a4)(a4+a6)=6a2r4(1+r2)2.(3)6(a_2+a_4)(a_4+a_6)=6a^2r^4(1+r^2)^2. \qquad (3)6(a2​+a4​)(a4​+a6​)=6a2r4(1+r2)2.(3)

  1. Use a2r6=19a^2r^6=\frac19a2r6=91​

From (2), a2r6=19  ⟹  a2r4=19r2.a^2r^6=\frac19 \implies a^2r^4=\frac{1}{9r^2}.a2r6=91​⟹a2r4=9r21​. Substitute into (3):

=\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{(1+r^2)^2}{r^2}.$$ Now use $r^2=2$: $$6(a_2+a_4)(a_4+a_6)=\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{(1+2)^2}{2} =\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{9}{2}=3.$$ 7. **Check options** The value is $$\boxed{3}.$$ So the correct option is **D**.
