1.

(1+ 2i2 + 4i4 + 8i6+.....) = Where i = \(\sqrt {-1}\)1. \(\rm \frac i2\)2. \(\rm \frac1 3\)3. \(\rm \frac 4i\)4. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(\rm \frac1 3\)

Concept:

Sum of infinite terms in geometric progression is given by, \(\rm S_\infty= \frac{a}{1-r}\), where, a = first term and r = common ratio

i = \(\sqrt {-1}\), i2 = -1

Calculation: 

Given series is (1 + 2i2 + 4i4 + 8i6+.....) 

Clearly it is a GP, with a = 1 and r = 2i2

Now sum = \(\rm S_\infty= \frac{a}{1-r}\)

 \(\rm = \frac{1}{1-2i^2} \\=\frac{1}{1+2}\)

\(\rm \frac1 3\)

Hence, option (2) is correct.
