Vedclass · Answer

(D) Let the given expression be $X = 5^{1/2} \cdot 5^{1/4} \cdot 5^{1/8} \cdots \infty$. Since the bases are the same,we add the exponents: $X = 5^{(1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + \cdots \infty)}$. The exponent is an infinite geometric series with first term $a = 1/2$ and common ratio $r = 1/2$. The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by $S = \frac{a}{1 - r}$. Substituting the values,$S = \frac{1/2}{1 - 1/2} = \frac{1/2}{1/2} = 1$. Therefore,$X = 5^1 = 5$.
