except the first one, by its preceding term is always constant. Rahul, being a plant lover, decides to
open a nursery and he bought few plants and pots. He wants to place pots in such a way that the
number of pots in the first row is 2, in second row is 4 and in the third row is 8 and so on…..

equilateral triangle is 24 cm. The mid-point of its sides are joined to form another triangle. This
process is going continuously infinite.
