The answer is that the series is divergent! I hope this helps!!

If there is a common ratio of three there is no sum as the series diverges, there is no limit, it approaches +oo.  Maybe that is what they are looking for, +oo, but technically it is incorrect.  A limit is a numerical value, and oo is not a number.
