    The first term of an infinite GP is 1 and each term is twice the sum of the succeeding terms, then the sum of the series is

    A)  \[2\]    

    B)                         \[\frac{5}{2}\]                  

    C)  \[\frac{7}{2}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    E)  \[\frac{9}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    According to question \[1=2(r+{{r}^{2}}+{{r}^{3}}+....)\] \[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{r}{1-r}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r=\frac{1}{3}\] \[\therefore \]The series is \[1,\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{9},\frac{1}{27},......\] Required sum\[=1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}+.....\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{3}{2}\]
