Answer:

The given series is convergent.

Explanation:

A series is called convergent when it has finite limit.

A series is called divergent when it has infinite limit.

To check the limit we have to use following methods ,

If | s | < 1 , the series is convergent , where s is the common ratio.

If | s | > 1 , the series is divergent.

⇒ s =
(192)/(125) * (5)/(12) = (2)/(5) < 1

⇒ s =
(48)/(125) * (5)/(12) = (4)/(5) < 1

∴ The given series is convergent.
