Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Given:

750 1/3 + 750 1/15 + 750 1/35 + … + 750 1/99

According to the formula:

1/(n(n+2)) = 1/2 [1/n − 1/(n+2)]

Total terms = 5

Integral part = 750 × 5 = 3750

Fractional part:

1/3 + 1/15 + 1/35 + 1/63 + 1/99

= 1/2 (1 − 1/11)

= 1/2 × (10/11)

= 5/11

Total sum = 3750 + 5/11

= 3750 (5/11)
