Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula Used:
Sum of the infinite series = \(\frac{a}{(1 - r)}\)
r = a2/a1
a = First term of the series
r = Common ratio
Calculation:
49 + 0.3 × 49 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 49 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3 × 49 +...
⇒ 49 (1 + 0.3 + 0.3 × 0.3 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3 +...)
⇒ 49 (1 + {0.3 + 0.3 × 0.3 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3 +...})
⇒ 49 (1 + \(\frac{0.3}{(1 - 0.3)}\))
⇒ 49 (1 + \(\frac{0.3}{0.7}\))
⇒ 49 (\(\frac{0.7 + 0.3}{0.7}\))
⇒ 49 × \(\frac{1}{0.7}\)
⇒ 70
∴ 49 + 0.3 × 49 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 49 + 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3 × 49 +... = 70
