    If \[y=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+...,\]\[x\]is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{y-1}{y}\]

    B)                         \[\frac{1-y}{y}\]              

    C)        \[\frac{y}{1-y}\]               

    D)         none of these  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Given series is a GP series whose common ratio is \[x\] We have \[y=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+....\infty \] \[y=\frac{1}{1-x}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y(1-x)=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[xy=y-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\frac{y-1}{y}\] Note: The sum of infinite series is only possible when the common ratio is lying between\[-1\]to 1.
