JEE Main 2024 — 9 April, Shift 1 — Question 12

If the sum of series 11⋅(1+d)+1(1+d)(1+2 d)+……+1(1+9 d)(1+10 d)\frac{1}{1 \cdot(1+\mathrm{d})}+\frac{1}{(1+\mathrm{d})(1+2 \mathrm{~d})}+\ldots \ldots+\frac{1}{(1+9 \mathrm{~d})(1+10 \mathrm{~d})} is equal to 5 , then 50d50 d is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    20

  2. Option B:

    5

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    15

  4. Option D:

    10

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

11⋅(1+d)+1(1+d)(1+2 d)+…………\frac{1}{1 \cdot(1+\mathrm{d})}+\frac{1}{(1+\mathrm{d})(1+2 \mathrm{~d})}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots 1(1+9d)(1+10d)=5\frac{1}{(1+9 d)(1+10 d)}=5

1 d[(1+d)−11⋅(1+d)+(1+2 d)−(1−d)(1+d)(1+2 d)]+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\left[\frac{(1+\mathrm{d})-1}{1 \cdot(1+\mathrm{d})}+\frac{(1+2 \mathrm{~d})-(1-\mathrm{d})}{(1+\mathrm{d})(1+2 \mathrm{~d})}\right]+ \qquad

(1+10d)−(1+9d)(1+9d)(1+10d)=5\frac{(1+10 d)-(1+9 d)}{(1+9 d)(1+10 d)}=5

1d[(1−11+d)+(11+d−11+2d)+\frac{1}{d}\left[\left(1-\frac{1}{1+d}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{1+d}-\frac{1}{1+2 d}\right)+\right.

(11+9d−11+10d)]=5\left.\left(\frac{1}{1+9 d}-\frac{1}{1+10 d}\right)\right]=5

1d[1−1(1+10 d)]=5\frac{1}{d}\left[1-\frac{1}{(1+10 \mathrm{~d})}\right]=5

10 d1+10 d=5 d\frac{10 \mathrm{~d}}{1+10 \mathrm{~d}}=5 \mathrm{~d}

50 d=550 \mathrm{~d}=5
