Solution

The correct option is C 100/201

First term of the series (1/3) = 1/(3x1)= 1/2[1-1/3]

Second term of the series (1/15) = 1/(3x5)=1/2[1/3-1/5]

Third term of the series (1/35) = 1/(7x5)=1/2[1/5-1/7]

..............................................................................

100th term of the series (1/199 x 201) = 1/2[1/199 - 1/201]

1/2[1-1/3+1/3-1/5+1/5-1/7+1/7………………………………………+1/199-1/201]

½[1-1/201]= 200/(2x201)=100/201
