Answer:

The series third has a sum of 5 option (C) is correct because the sequence represents the sum of the infinite terms.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have a series shown in the picture.

The geometric sequence is shown in the options.

As we know, in the geometric sequence there is a first term and common difference

In the first sequence:

First term a = 2

Common difference = 2(0.1)/2

Common difference d = 0.1

The sum of the infinite series is:

S = a/(1 - r)

S = 2/(1 - 0.1)

S = 2.22

In the second sequence:

First term a = 15

Common difference = 15(0.3)/15

Common difference d = 0.3

The sum of the infinite series is:

S = a/(1 - r)

S = 15/(1 - 0.3)

S = 21.42

In the third sequence:

First term a = 4

Common difference = 4(0.2)/4

Common difference d = 0.2

The sum of the infinite series is:

S = a/(1 - r)

S = 4/(1 - 0.2)

S = 5

Thus, the series third has a sum of 5 option (C) is correct because the sequence represents the sum of the infinite terms.
