In a geometric series, the first term is `a` and common ratio is `rdot` If `S_n` denotes the sum of the terms and `U_n=sum_(n=1)^n S_n` ,then `r S_n+(1-r)U_n` equals
(a)`0` b. `n` c. `n a` d. `n a r`

A

0

B

n

C

na

D

nar

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`S_(n)=(a(r^(n)-1))/(r-1)`
`rArrU_(n)=sum_(n=1)^(n)(a(r^(n)-1))/(r-1)=a/(r-1)sum_(n=1)^(n)(r^(n)-1)`
`=a/(r-1){r+r^(2)+…+r^(n)-n}`
`a/(r-1){(r(r^(n)-1))/(r-1)-n}`
`rArr(r-1)U_(n)=(ar(r^(n)-1))/(r-1)-an`
`rArr(r-1)U_(n)=rS_(n)-an`
`rArrrS_(n)+(1-r)U_(n)=an`
