    If \[3+3\alpha +3{{\alpha }^{2}}+.........\infty =\frac{45}{8}\], then the value of \[\alpha \] will be [Pb. CET 1989]

    A) 15/23

    B) 7/15

    C) 7/8

    D) 15/7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[3+3\alpha +3{{\alpha }^{2}}+3{{\alpha }^{3}}+..............\infty =\frac{45}{8}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3\left[ \frac{1}{1-\alpha } \right]=\frac{45}{8}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[8=15(1-\alpha )\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\alpha =\frac{7}{15}\].
