        If\[x=1+a+{{a}^{2}}+......\]   to  infinity and \[y=1+b+{{b}^{2}}+......\]to infinity, where a, bare proper fractions, then\[1+ab+{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+...\]to infinity is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{xy}{x+y-1}\]

    B)  \[\frac{xy}{x-y-1}\]

    C)  \[\frac{xy}{x-y+1}\]                      

    D)  \[\frac{xy}{x+y+1}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: \[{{(1-x)}^{-1}}=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+.....\infty \] Given,      \[x=1+a+{{a}^{2}}+......\infty \]                 \[y=1+b+{{b}^{2}}+.....\infty \] \[\therefore \]  \[x=\frac{1}{1-a},y=\frac{1}{1-b}\]           \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x-ax=1\]and \[y-yb=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=\frac{x-1}{x}\]and \[b=\frac{y-1}{y}\]                            ...(i) Also, \[1+ab+{{a}^{2}}{{\text{b}}^{2}}+...\text{ }\infty \] \[=\frac{1}{1-ab}=\frac{1}{1-\left( \frac{x-1}{x} \right)\left( \frac{y-1}{y} \right)}\]                 [from(i)] \[=\frac{xy}{xy-xy+y+x-1}=\frac{xy}{x+y-1}\] \[\therefore \]  \[1+ab+{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+\infty =\frac{xy}{x+y-1}\]
