Correct Option: B
| Let S = 1 - | + | - | + ........ | |||
| 20 | 20² | 20³ |
It is a geometric series to infinity with first term, a = 1
| and common ratio ( r ) = - | |
| 20 |
| ∴ S∞ = | |
| 1 - r |
| S∞ = | ||||
| 1 - | ![]() | - | ![]() | |
| 20 | ||||
| S∞ = | ||||
| 1 + | ||||
| 20 | ||||
| S∞ = | = 0.9523809 | |
| 21 |
∴ The value correct to 5 places of decimal = 0.95238
