The sum to n terms of the series, 1 + (1+21+221)+
(1+21+221+231+241) + …… is
A
2n – 34 {1−22n1}
B
2n + 34 {1−22n1}
C
2n + 34 {1+22n1}
D
None of these
Answer
None of these
Explanation
Solution
Sn = 1 + 1−211−(21)3 + 1−211−(21)5 + ….. n terms
= 1 + 2 (1−(21)3)+ 2 (1−(21)5)+ ……. n times
= 1 + (2 + 2 + …. (n – 1) times) –
[(21)2+(21)4+…..(n−1) times ]
= 1 + 2(n –1) – 1−(21)2(1/2)2 (1−(21)n−1)
= 2n –1 – 31 + 3.22n2 = 2n –34 (1+22n1)
