    An infinite G.P. has first term 'x' and sum '5', then x belongs to

    A) \[0\le x\le 10\]

    B)        \[-10<x<10\]

    C) \[0<x<10\]

    D)        \[-10\le x\le 0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\frac{x}{1-r}=5\Rightarrow r=1-\frac{x}{5}\] Since G.P. contains infinite terms \[\therefore \,\,-1<r<1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,-1<1-\frac{x}{5}<1\Rightarrow -2<-\frac{x}{5}<0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,-10<-x<0.\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,0<x<10.\]
