JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 8. sequence and series

Let \(\alpha=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\ldots\infty\) and \(\beta=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{27}+\ldots\infty\). Then the value of \((0.2)^{\log_{\sqrt{5}}(\alpha)}+(0.04)^{\log_5(\beta)}\) is equal to:

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The sum of an infinite geometric progression is given by \(S_{\infty} = \dfrac{a}{1-r}\). For \(\alpha\), \(a = \dfrac{1}{4}\) and \(r = \dfrac{1}{2}\): \(\alpha = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{1 - \dfrac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\) For \(\beta\), \(a = \dfrac{1}{3}\) and…
