    If \[x\ne 0\], then the sum of the series\[1+\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{2{{x}^{2}}}{3!}+\frac{3{{x}^{3}}}{4!}+.......\infty \] is

    A) \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}+1}{x}\]

    B) \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}\,(x-1)}{x}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}\,(x-1)+1}{x}\]

    D) \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}\,(x-1)+1+x}{x}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]  The general term of the series
    \[\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{2{{x}^{2}}}{3!}+\frac{3{{x}^{3}}}{4!}+.....\infty \] is
    \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{n{{x}^{n}}}{(n+1)!},n=1,2..........,\infty \]
    \[=\frac{n+1-1}{(n+1)!}{{x}^{n}}=\frac{{{x}^{n}}}{n!}-\frac{1}{x}\frac{{{x}^{n+1}}}{(n+1)!}\]
    \[\therefore 1+\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{2{{x}^{2}}}{3!}+\frac{3{{x}^{3}}}{4!}+.......\infty \]
    \[=1+\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{x}^{n}}}{n!}-\frac{1}{x}\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{x}^{n+1}}}{(n+1)!}}}\]
    \[=1+({{e}^{x}}-1)-\frac{1}{x}({{e}^{x}}-1-x)\]
    \[=\frac{x{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{x}}+1+x}{x}=\frac{(x-1){{e}^{x}}+(1+x)}{x}\]
