  2. $1\displaystyle\frac{2}{5}$

  3. $1\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$

  4. $1\displaystyle\frac{3}{5}$

  5. $1\displaystyle\frac{5}{8}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given the geometric series is $2,\left ( -\dfrac{1}{2} \right ),\left ( \dfrac{1}{8} \right ),\left ( -\dfrac{1}{32} \right ).......................$

Then common ratio $=-\dfrac{1}{4}$
And first term is $2$.
Then sum of the infinite geometric series $=$ $S=\dfrac{a _{1}}{1-r}=\dfrac{2}{1-(-\frac{1}{4})}=\dfrac{2\times 4}{4+1}=\dfrac{8}{5}=1\dfrac{3}{8}$

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $S = \dfrac{a}{1-r}$

  2. $S _n = \dfrac{a _1(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

  3. $S = \dfrac{an}{1-r}$

  4. $S _n = \dfrac{a _1(1-r^n)}{1+r}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sum of GP $=\dfrac{a(r^n -1)}{r-1}$

$a= $ first term
$r=$ common ratio
For $n \to \infty$
$r^n = 0$ for $r<1$
$r^n \to \infty $ for $r>1$
Thus $\text{sum} =\dfrac {a}{r-1}$

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $\displaystyle S _{\infty} = \frac{1}{a - r}$

  2. $\displaystyle S _{\infty} = \frac{1}{r-a}$

  3. $\displaystyle S _{\infty} = \frac{a}{1 - r}$

  4. $\displaystyle S _{\infty} = \frac{1-r}{a}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lets say the sum of infinite geometric series is:

$S _\infty=a + ar + ar^{2} + ar^{3}...... ar^{n}.....\infty$
Let us multiply r on both sides

$rS _\infty=ar+ar^{2}+.................\infty$
Let us subtract $rS _\infty$ to from $S _\infty$
So we can write

$S _\infty-rS _\infty=a$
$S _\infty(1-r)=a$

$S _\infty=\dfrac{a}{1-r}$

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

${ S } _{ 1 }=$Sum of n terms in G.P.

${ S } _{ 2 }=$Sum of 2n terms in G.P.
${ S } _{ 3 }=$4Sum of 3n terms in G.P.
${ S } _{ 1 }=\cfrac { a({ r }^{ n }-1) }{ r-1 } ,{ S } _{ 2 }=\cfrac { a({ r }^{ 2n }-1) }{ r-1 } ,{ S } _{ 3 }=\cfrac { a({ r }^{ 3n }-1) }{ r-1 } $
a is a first term and r is a common ratio.
${ S } _{ 3 }-{ S } _{ 2 }=\cfrac { a({ r }^{ 3n }-{ r }^{ 2n }) }{ r-1 } \ { S } _{ 1 }({ S } _{ 3 }-{ S } _{ 2 })=\cfrac { { a }^{ 2 }({ r }^{ 4n }-2{ r }^{ 3n }+{ r }^{ 2n }) }{ { (r-1 })^{ 2 } } \ =\cfrac { { a }^{ 2 }({ r }^{ 2n }-{ r }^{ n })^{ 2 } }{ { (r-1 })^{ 2 } } \ =\cfrac { { a }^{ 2 }(({ r }^{ 2n }-{ 1)(r }^{ n }-1))^{ 2 } }{ { (r-1 })^{ 2 } } \ =\left[ \cfrac { { a }({ r }^{ 2n }-{ 1)-a(r }^{ n }-1) }{ { (r-1 }) }  \right] ^{ 2 }\ { S } _{ 1 }({ S } _{ 3 }-{ S } _{ 2 })=({ S } _{ 2 }-{ S } _{ 1 })^{ 2 }$

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $x-1$

  2. $x+1$

  3. $x$

  4. $\dfrac{1}{x-1}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$S=\left( 1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x }  \right) +{ \left( 1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x }  \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x }  \right)  }^{ 3 }+........$
This is a G.P whose first term, $a=1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x } $ and common ration,  $r=1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x } $
${ S } _{ \infty  }=\cfrac { a }{ 1-r } $
$=\cfrac { 1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x }  }{ 1-\left( 1-\cfrac { 1 }{ x }  \right)  } $
$=\cfrac { { \left( x-1 \right)  }/{ x } }{ { \left[ x-\left( x-1 \right)  \right]  }/{ x } } $
$=\cfrac { x-1 }{ x-x+1 } $
$=x-1$

If $e^{\displaystyle \left [ \left ( \sin^{2}x + \sin^{4}x + \sin^{6}x + .... + \infty \right ) \log _{e}2\right ]}$ satisfies the equation $\displaystyle x^{2} -9x + 8 = 0$,then the value of $\displaystyle g \left ( x \right ) = \frac{\cos x}{\cos x + \sin x}$ is

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2}$

  3. $\displaystyle 8$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Consider, $y=exp\left[ \left( \sin ^{ 2 } x+\sin ^{ 4 } x+\sin ^{ 6 } x+....+\infty  \right) \log _{ e } 2 \right] $
$\displaystyle\Rightarrow y=exp\left[ \left( \frac { \sin ^{ 2 }{ x }  }{ 1-\sin ^{ 2 }{ x }  }  \right) \log _{ e } 2 \right] =exp\left[ \tan ^{ 2 }{ x } \log _{ e } 2 \right] ={ 2 }^{ \tan ^{ 2 }{ x }  }$
Since, $y$ satisfies $x^{ 2 }-9x+8=0$, then
        $y=1,8$
$\Rightarrow { 2 }^{ \tan ^{ 2 }{ x }  }={ 2 }^{ 0 },{ 2 }^{ 3 }$
$\Rightarrow \tan ^{ 2 }{ x } =0,3$
$\Rightarrow \tan { x } =0,\pm \sqrt { 3 } $

Now, $\displaystyle g\left( x \right) =\frac { \cos  x }{ \cos  x+\sin  x } =\frac { 1 }{ 1+\tan { x }  } =1,\frac { 1 }{ 1\pm \sqrt { 3 }  } =1,\frac { -\sqrt { 3 } -1 }{ 2 } ,\frac { \sqrt { 3 } -1 }{ 2 } $

lf $e^{(\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x+\cos^{6}x+\ldots.)\log 3}$ satisfies $y^{ 2 }-10y+9=0$ and $0\le x\le \cfrac { \pi  }{ 2 } $, then $\cot^{2}x=$

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $\dfrac12$

  4. $9$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\displaystyle e^{(\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x+\cdots )\log{3}}=e^{\left(\dfrac{\cos^{2}x}{1-\cos^{2}x}\right)\log3.}$
$\because (\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x+\cdots)$ is forming an infinite G.P. $=e^{\cot^{2}x\log3.}$
$y^{2}-10y+9=0  \Rightarrow   y=9,1$
$e^{\cot^{2}x\log{3}}=9,1$
$3^{\cot^{2}x}=9,1&gt;&gt;[\because e ^{\log x}=x]$
$\Rightarrow \cot^{2}x=2,0$ but as $x\in \left[0,\dfrac{\pi }{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow \cot^{2}x=0$

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

If the sum of an infinite $GP$ is $20$ and sum of their square is $100$ then common ration will be=

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $1/2$

  2. $1/4$

  3. $3/5$

  4. $1$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Let $G.P$ is $a, ar, ar^2,....\infty$
sum $=\dfrac {a}{1-r}=20---(1)$
If terms are required the $G.P.$
becomes : $a^2, a^2r^2, a^2 r^4,.....\infty$
Sum $=\dfrac {a^2}{1-r^2}=100---(2)$
Name dividing square of equation $(1)$ by equation $(2)$
$\dfrac {\dfrac {a^2}{1-r^2}}{\dfrac {a^2}{(1-r)^2}}=\dfrac {100}{400}$
$\Rightarrow \ \dfrac {(1-r)}{(1-r)(1+r)}=\dfrac {1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \ \dfrac {1-r}{1+r}=\dfrac {1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \ 4-4r=1+r$
$\Rightarrow \ 4-1=4r+r$
$\Rightarrow \ 5r=3$
$\Rightarrow \ r=\dfrac {3}{5}$

For $0 < \phi < \pi/2$ if $x=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\cos ^{2n} \phi, y=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\sin ^{2n} \phi, z=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\cos ^{2n} \phi \sin^{2n}\phi$, then 

sum to infinite terms of a gp sequence, progression and series maths

  1. $xyz=xz+y$

  2. $xyz=xy+z$

  3. $xyz=x+y+z$

  4. $xyz=yz+x$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given $\displaystyle x=\sum _{ n=0 }^{ \infty  }{ { \cos }^{ 2n }\phi ,\quad y=\sum _{ n=0 }^{ \infty  }{ { \sin }^{ 2n }\phi  }  } $ and $\displaystyle z=\sum _{ n=0 }^{ \infty  }{ { \cos }^{ 2n }\phi  } { \sin }^{ 2n }\phi $


\since $\displaystyle 0<\phi <\frac { \pi  }{ 2 } $, so each series is geometric series with common ratio $\displaystyle r<1$. Therefore, the series are convergent.


Now, $\displaystyle x=\frac { 1 }{ 1-{ \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  } $


$\displaystyle =\frac { 1 }{ { \sin }^{ 2 }\phi  } $      $(\because S _{ \infty  }=\dfrac { a }{ 1-r } )$


$\displaystyle y=\frac { 1 }{ 1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }\phi  } $      $(\because S _{ \infty  }=\dfrac { a }{ 1-r } )$


$\displaystyle =\frac { 1 }{ { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  } $


$\displaystyle z=\frac { 1 }{ 1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  } $ 

   

$(\because S _{ \infty  }=\dfrac { a }{ 1-r } )$


Consider, $\displaystyle xyz=\frac { 1 }{ { \sin }^{ 2 }\phi { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi (1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi ) } $      $(1)$


Also, $\displaystyle =\frac { 1 }{ { \sin }^{ 2 }\phi { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  } +\frac { 1 }{ 1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  } $


$\displaystyle xy+z=\frac { 1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi +{ \sin }^{ 2 }\phi { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi  }{ { \sin }^{ 2 }\phi { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi (1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi ) } $


$\displaystyle =\frac { 1 }{ { \sin }^{ 2 }\phi { \cos }^{ 2 }\phi (1-{ \sin }^{ 2 }{ \phi \cos }^{ 2 }\phi ) } $

 

$\displaystyle =xyz$      $[From (1)]$
