As we learnt in 

Common ratio of a GP (r) -

The ratio of two consecutive terms of a GP

- wherein

eg: in 2, 4, 8, 16, - - - - - - -

r = 2

and in 100, 10, 1, 1/10 - - - - - - -

r = 1/10

 

 Given ar^{4}= 2

Now

\Rightarrow a\times ar\times ar^{2}\times \cdot \cdot \cdot ar^{8}

= a^{9}\cdot r^{1=2+3+....8}

= a^{9}\cdot r\tfrac{8\times 9}{2}= a^{9}r^{36}= \left ( ar^{4} \right )^{9}= 2^{9}= 512
