If the sum of the series $\frac{1}{1 \cdot(1+\mathrm{d})}+\frac{1}{(1+\mathrm{d})(1+2 \mathrm{~d})}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(1+9 \mathrm{~d})(1+10 \mathrm{~d})}$ is equal to 5 , then $50 \mathrm{~d}$ is equal to :
  1. 10
  2. 5
  3. 15
  4. 20

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{1 \cdot(1+\mathrm{d})}+\frac{1}{(1+\mathrm{d})(1+2 \mathrm{~d})}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . . \\ & \frac{1}{(1+9 \mathrm{~d})(1+10 \mathrm{~d})}=5\end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{d}\left[\frac{(1+d)-1}{1 \cdot(1+d)}+\frac{(1+2 d)-(1-d)}{(1+d)(1+2 d)}\right]+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . . . \\ & \frac{(1+10 d)-(1+9 d)}{(1+9 d)(1+10 d)}=5 \\ & \frac{1}{d}\left[\left(1-\frac{1}{1+d}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{1+d}-\frac{1}{1+2 d}\right)+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . .\right. \\ & \left.\left(\frac{1}{1+9 d}-\frac{1}{1+10 d}\right)\right]=5 \\ & \frac{1}{d}\left[1-\frac{1}{(1+10 d)}\right]=5 \\ & \frac{10 d}{1+10 d}=5 d \\ & 50 d=5\end{aligned}$
