Find the sum of series 1+1/2 + 1/4 + ………. up to 6 terms.(a) 63/32(b) 32/63(c) 26/53(d) 53/26This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.This question is from Geometric Progression(G.P.) in chapter Sequences and Series of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 63/32

To explain I would say: GIVEN SERIES is G.P. with first term 1 and common ratio 1/2.

We KNOW, Sn = a(1-rn)/(1-r) for r<1.

S6 = 1(1-(1/2)^6) / (1-1/2) = (1-1/64) / (1/2) = 63*2/64 = 63/32.
