    \[1+\frac{2}{3\,!}+\frac{3}{5\,!}+\frac{4}{7\,!}+......\infty =\,\]

    A) e

    B) \[2\,e\]

    C) e/2

    D) e/3

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[S=\frac{1}{1\ !}+\frac{2}{3\ !}+\frac{3}{5\ !}+\frac{4}{7\ !}+.......+\frac{n}{(2n-1)\ !}+.....\] Here \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{2n}{(2n-1)\ !}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{(2n-1)+1}{(2n-1)\ !}\]                              \[=\frac{1}{2}\left\{ \frac{1}{(2n-2)\ !}+\frac{1}{(2n-1)\ !} \right\}\] \[\Rightarrow S=\sum{{{T}_{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{ \frac{e+{{e}^{-1}}}{2}+\frac{e-{{e}^{-1}}}{2} \right\}=\frac{e}{2}}\]. Trick: The sum of this series upto 4 terms is 1.359 ......  and this is value of e/2 approximately.
