B Correct answer
Explanation

The series is (1+0.4) + (3+0.04) + (5+0.004) + ... = (1+3+5+...+(2n-1)) + (0.4+0.04+0.004+...). The sum of the first part is n^2. The second part is a geometric series: 4/10 + 4/100 + ... = (4/10) * (1 - (1/10)^n) / (1 - 1/10) = (4/10) * (1 - 1/10^n) / (9/10) = 4/9 * (1 - 1/10^n).

Multiple choice
  1. $\dfrac {2^{mn - 1}}{2^{mn}(2^{n} - 1)}$
  2. $\dfrac {2^{mn} - 1}{2^{n} - 1}$
  3. $\dfrac {2^{mn} + 1}{2^{n} + 1}$
  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

The series is a sum of geometric series inside a binomial expansion. The expression simplifies using the identity for the sum of binomial coefficients with alternating signs. The result is a known form for this type of series expansion.

Multiple choice
  1. $100\left ( i-1 \right )$
  2. $100\left (1- i \right )$
  3. $200i$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The series is S = i + 2i^2 + 3i^3 + ... + 200i^200. This is an arithmetico-geometric series. Using the formula for such series or by grouping terms (i - 2 - 3i + 4 + 5i - 6 - 7i + 8...), the sum evaluates to 100(1 - i).

Multiple choice

  2. ${2}^{11}$
  3. ${2}^{10}$
  4. ${2}^{12}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence groups are: 2^0 (1 term), 2^1 (2 terms), 2^2 (4 terms), 2^3 (8 terms), etc. The number of terms up to group k is 1 + 2 + 4 + ... + 2^k = 2^(k+1) - 1. We want the 1025th term. 2^10 - 1 = 1023. So the 1024th term is the end of the group with value 2^9. The 1025th term starts the group with value 2^10.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are: 389-117=272, 525-389=136, 593-525=68, 627-593=34. The differences are halved each time (272, 136, 68, 34). The next difference should be 34/2 = 17. Adding 17 to 627 gives 644.
