    n=6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sn = (g1-gn. r) / (1-r)

    2730 = (2-2948r) / (1-r)

    2730 (1-r) = 2-2048r

    2730-2730r=2 - 2048r

    682r=2729

    r=4, common ratio

    Now using the formula; Gn=G1. r∧n-1

    2048=2.4∧n-1

    2048=4∧n-1=2∧2n-2

    ㏒2 1024=㏒2 2∧2n-2

    10=2n-2

    n=12/2

    =6
