    The two geometric means between the numbers \[1\] and \[64\] are:

    A)  \[1\] and \[64\]                               

    B)  \[4\] and \[16\]

    C)  \[2\] and\[16\]                                

    D)  \[8\] and \[16\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[{{G}_{1}}\] and \[{{G}_{2}}\] be the two geometric means between \[1\] and\[64\]. \[i.e.,\] \[1,\,\,{{G}_{1}},\,\,{{G}_{2}},\,\,64\] Here,     \[a=1,\] \[\therefore \]  \[64={{a}^{3}}\Rightarrow {{4}^{3}}={{r}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{G}_{1}}=ar=1\times 4=4\] and        \[{{G}_{2}}=a{{r}^{2}}=1\times {{4}^{2}}=16\]
