Geometric progression

In geometric progression, a1 = 7, q = 5. Find the condition for n to sum first n members is sn≤217.

Correct answer:

n =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=7 q=5 s=217  s = aq    q1qn1 s/a1 (q1) = qn1 s/a1 (q1)+1 = qn ln s/a1 (q1)+1 = n ln q  n=lnqln(s/a1 (q1)+1)=ln5ln(217/7 (51)+1)=3
