Best answer

(1).

The nth term of the sequence : tn = n(n + 2).

To find 7th term, substitute n = 7 in the above nth term.

t7 = 7(7 + 2)

    = 7(9)

    = 63.

The option D is correct.

(2).

The geometric sequence : 5, 15, 45, tn = n(n + 2) · · · · · ·.

Common ratio = The ratios of consecutive terms.

Common ratio : r = 15/5 = 45/15 = 3.

The option A is correct.
