    \[1+\frac{2}{4}+\frac{2.5}{4.8}+\frac{2.5.8}{4.8.12}+\frac{2.5.8.11}{4.8.12.16}+...\]is  equal to

    A) \[{{4}^{-2/3}}\]                     

    B)         \[\sqrt[3]{16}\]   

    C)         \[\sqrt[3]{4}\]                     

    D)         \[{{4}^{3/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[S=1+\frac{2}{4}+\frac{2}{4}.\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2.5.8}{4.8.12}+...\] On comparing with \[{{(1+x)}^{n}}=1+nx+\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}{{x}^{2}}+....,\] we get                 \[nx=\frac{2}{4}\]                                            ?(i)                 and        \[\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}{{x}^{2}}=\frac{2.5}{4.8}\]                  From Eqs. (i) and (ii) \[\frac{\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}{{x}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{\frac{2.5}{4.8}}{\frac{2.2}{4.4}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{n-1}{n}=\frac{5}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2n-2=5n\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=-\frac{2}{3}\] On putting the value of n in Eq. (i), we get \[-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{2}{4}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=-\frac{3}{4}\]                 \[\therefore \]\[S={{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{n}}={{\left( 1-\frac{3}{4} \right)}^{-2/3}}={{\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)}^{-2/3}}=\sqrt[3]{16}\]
