Options

B. `(1)/(3)`
C. `(1)/(6)`
D. `(1)/(4)`

Answer

To find the sum of the infinite series

\[ S = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{3 \cdot 7} + \frac{5}{3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11} + \frac{7}{3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 15} + \ldots \]

we can identify the general term of the series.

### Step 1: Identify the general term

The \(n\)-th term of the series can be expressed as:

\[ T_n = \frac{2n - 1}{3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdots (4n - 1)} \]

where \(n\) starts from 1.

### Step 2: Simplify the denominator

The denominator can be rewritten as a product of terms in the form \(4n - 1\):

\[ 3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdots (4n - 1) = \prod_{k=1}^{n} (4k - 1) \]

### Step 3: Express the series in terms of factorials

The product in the denominator can be related to factorials. We can express the product as:

\[ \prod_{k=1}^{n} (4k - 1) = \frac{(4n)!}{(2n)! \cdot 2^n} \]

This allows us to rewrite the \(n\)-th term as:

\[ T_n = \frac{2n - 1}{3} \cdot \frac{(2n)! \cdot 2^n}{(4n)!} \]

### Step 4: Sum the series

Now, we need to find the sum of the series:

\[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} T_n \]

Using the properties of series and recognizing that the series converges, we can use known results or techniques such as generating functions or integral representations to evaluate the sum.

### Step 5: Evaluate the sum

Through analysis, we find that the sum converges to:

\[ S = \frac{1}{2} \]

### Conclusion

Thus, the sum of the infinite series is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
