Q 13. If b is the first term of an infinite G.P. whose sum is five, then b lies in
the interval:

A (-∞, -10)

B (-10, 0)

C (0, 10)

D (10, ∞)
Solution 13:

First term = b
Common ratio = r
-1 < r < 1 for infinite series
For infinite series;

⇒ b = 5(1 - r)
Since |r| < 1 for an infinite geometric series to converge,
we have -1 < r < 1 ⇒ 0 < 1-r < 2 ⇒ 0 < b < 10.
So option C is the correct answer.
Interval of b ∈ (0, 10)
