If α and β are the roots of the equation 375 x2-25x-2=0, then limn  r=1nαr+limn  r=1nβr is equal to:
  1. 112
  2. 21346
  3. 7116
  4. 29358

Solution

For given quadratic 375x2-25x-2=0, its roots are,

α,β=25±252+2×4×3752×375α<1,β<1

Also, α+β=25375,  αβ=-2375

Now limnr=1nαr+limnr=1nβr

=α1-α+β1-β a+ar+ar2+.....infinite  terms=a1-r  ifr<1

=α+β-2αβ1-α+β+αβ=25375+43751-25375-2375=29348=112
