Justification:
The following terms make up the given sequence, which is a geometric progression (G.P.):
1, 5/6, 25/36,…
The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series can be used to determine the sum of each term in the sequence:
S = a / (1 – r)
where:
S is the infinite series’ sum.
a = initial term
R is the common ratio.
Given:
a = 1.
The common ratio between consecutive terms is r = 5/6.
Changing the values:
S = 1 / (1 – 5/6)
S = 1 / (1/6)
S is 5/6.
As a result, 5/6 is the sum of all the terms in the provided sequence.
Justification for the incorrect choices:
(a) 6: This is erroneous since 5/6, not 6, is the proper sum.
(b) 1/3: This is erroneous since 5/6, not 1/3, is the proper sum.
(c) 2/4: This is erroneous since 5/6, not 2/4, is the proper sum.
