Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{6070}{14973}$


Solution : Given:
 $S=\frac{1}{1×3×5}+\frac{1}{1×4}+\frac{1}{3×5×7}+\frac{1}{4×7}+\frac{1}{5×7×9}+\frac{1}{7×10}+....$ Up to 20 terms.
Rewriting it like,
$\frac{1}{1×3×5}+\frac{1}{3×5×7}+\frac{1}{5×7×9}+...+\frac{1}{1×4}+\frac{1}{4×7}+\frac{1}{7×10}+...$Up to 20 terms.
$=\frac{1}{4}[\frac{1}{1×3}-\frac{1}{3×5}+\frac{1}{3×5}-\frac{1}{5×7}+\frac{1}{5×7}-\frac{1}{7×9}+...–\frac{1}{21×23}]+\frac{1}{3}[1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{10}+...-\frac{1}{31}]$
It will cancel out most of the terms except the first and last term.
$=\frac{1}{4}[\frac{1}{1×3}-\frac{1}{21×23}]+\frac{1}{3}[1-\frac{1}{31}]$
$=\frac{40}{483}+\frac{10}{31}$
$=\frac{6070}{14973}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{6070}{14973}$.

Option 1: $16:25$

Option 2: $16:81$

Option 3: $81:16$

Option 4: $4:9$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024
