Find the sum of first 11 terms of the series: 12+34+78+1516+...
Explanation:
In this special series, nth term can be written as:
Tn = 2n-12n = 1 - 12n
Hence, T1 = 1 – 1/2 T2 = 1 – 1/22 T3 = 1 – 1/23 … T11 = 1 – 1/211
S11 = 20 – 12+122+123+...1211 = 20 - 121211-112-1 = 20 + 1/211 – 1 = 19 + 1/211
Hence, option (b).
