Solution

The correct option is E none of these
Option (e) S =1 + 3x + 4x² + 10x³ + 18x⁴ +... ---------- (1)
2x * S= 2x + 6x² + 8x³ + 20x⁴ +..... ----------- (2) --- multiplying by 2x
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
= (1 - 2x)S= 1 + x - 2x²(1 - x + x² - x³ ......)
= (1 - 2x)S= 1 + x - 2x²/(1+x) [since 0<x <1 and sum of infinite series]
Now substituting x = 1/3 we get S = 7/2
Hence, choice (e) is the correct answer.
