Types of Progression
The candidates may find the following three types of progression
- Arithmetic Progression: Arithmetic Sequences are any series in which the difference between each consecutive term is constant.
- Harmonic Progression: If the reciprocals of all the terms in a sequence form an arithmetic sequence, it is said to be in a harmonic sequence.
- Geometric Progression: Geometric Progression is a sequence in which each succeeding term has a fixed ratio between them.
Types of Series
There are the following types of series, and the candidates may find these while solving CAT sequences and series sheets.
- Arithmetic series: It is the total values of a sequence
- Arithmetic mean: The arithmetic mean is the result of adding two numbers together
- Geometric series: It is the total of all the elements in geometric sequences, i.e., if the ratio between each term and the term before it, is always constant, the series is said to be geometric.
- Geometric mean: The average of two numbers is known as the geometric mean.
- Harmonic mean: The reciprocal of the arithmetic mean is the harmonic mean.
Important Sequence and Series Formulas
Here is the list of some basic but important Series and Progression formulas :
