Question
The sum of infinite terms of the following series
1 +  45 +  752 + 1053 + ...........∞ will be
Options:
A .  316
B .  358
C .  354
D .  3516
Answer: Option D
:
D
Let the sum to infinity of thearithmetic-geometric series be
S = 1 + 4 . 15 + 7. 152 + 10. 153 +........
15S =15+ 4.152+ 7.153+...........
Subtracting (1 - 15)S = 1 + 3.15 + 3.152 + 3.153 + .......
= 1 + 3(15 +152 + ..............)
45S = 1 + 3.15(1115) = 1 +34 =74⇒ S =3516.
Aliter :Use direct formula S =ab1r +dbr(1r)2
Here a = 1, b = 1, d = 3, r =15, therefore
S =1115 +3×1×15(1152) =54 +351625 =54 +1516 =3516.
Aliter:Use S = [1 + r1r × diff. of A.P.]11r
