If an infinite GP has the first term x and the sum 5, then which of the following is correct? a. x < –10 b. –10 < x < 0 c. 0 < x < 10 d. x > 10

Answer»

Correct option c. 0 < x < 10

Explanation:

x/(1 - r) = 5 ⇒ x/5 = 1 - r ⇒ r = 1 - x/5

where |r| < 1

⇒ - 1 < 1 - x/5 < 1

⇒ - 2 < - x/5 < 0

⇒ - 10 < - x < 0

⇒ 10 > x > 0
