Choose the correct answer:
- A.
1
- B.
4
- C.
16
(Correct Answer) - D.
24
16
Explanation
The given expression for x is:
x=1+21/6+22/6+23/6+24/6+25/6
This is a Geometric Progression (GP) where:
-
First term a=1
-
Common ratio r=21/6
-
Number of terms n=6
The sum of a GP is Sn=r−1a(rn−1):
x=21/6−11((21/6)6−1)
x=21/6−121−1
x=21/6−11
From this, we find x1:
x1=21/6−1
Now, substitute x1 into the required expression:
1+x1=1+(21/6−1)=21/6
The final calculation is:
(1+x1)24=(21/6)24
=224/6
=24
=16
Correct Option: (C)
