    The \[{{9}^{th}}\] term of the series \[27+9+5\frac{2}{5}+3\frac{6}{7}+........\] will be  [MP PET 1983]

    A) \[1\frac{10}{17}\]

    B) \[\frac{10}{17}\]

    C) \[\frac{16}{27}\]

    D) \[\frac{17}{27}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given series \[27+9+5\ .\ \frac{2}{5}+3\ .\ \frac{6}{7}+......\] \[=27+\frac{27}{3}+\frac{27}{5}+\frac{27}{7}+.....+\frac{27}{2n-1}+......\] Hence \[{{n}^{th}}\] term of given series \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{27}{2n-1}\] So, \[{{T}_{9}}=\frac{27}{2\times 9-1}=\frac{27}{17}=1\frac{10}{17}\].
