Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

If $$A = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{1 \over {{{\left( {3 + {{( - 1)}^n}} \right)}^n}}}} $$ and $$B = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{{{{( - 1)}^n}} \over {{{\left( {3 + {{( - 1)}^n}} \right)}^n}}}} $$, then ${A \over B}$ is equal to :

  1. A ${{11} \over 9}$
  2. B 1
  3. C $-$${{11} \over 9}$ Correct answer
  4. D $-$${{11} \over 3}$

Solution

<p>$A = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{1 \over {{{(3 + {{( - 1)}^n})}^n}}}}$ and $$B = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{{{{( - 1)}^n}} \over {{{(3 + {{( - 1)}^n})}^n}}}} $$</p> <p>$A = {1 \over 2} + {1 \over {{4^2}}} + {1 \over {{2^3}}} + {1 \over {{4^4}}} +$ ........</p> <p>$$B = {{ - 1} \over 2} + {1 \over {{4^2}}} - {1 \over {{2^3}}} + {1 \over {{4^4}}} + $$ ......</p> <p>$$A = {{{1 \over 2}} \over {1 - {1 \over 4}}} + {{{1 \over {16}}} \over {1 - {1 \over {16}}}}$$, $$B = {{ - {1 \over 2}} \over {1 - {1 \over 4}}} + {{{1 \over {16}}} \over {1 - {1 \over {16}}}}$$</p> <p>$A = {{11} \over {15}}$, $B = {{ - 9} \over {15}}$</p> <p>$\therefore$ ${A \over B} = {{ - 11} \over 9}$</p>
