Correct Option: A
In a geometric progression (GP), each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant called the common ratio (r).
1. **Find the common ratio (r):**
The common ratio can be found by dividing the second term by the first term:
r = second term / first term = 14 / 2 = 7
2. **Find the third term:**
The third term is found by multiplying the second term by the common ratio:
Third term = second term * r = 14 * 7 = 98
