$A$ simple harmonic oscillator consists of a particle of mass $m$ and an ideal spring with spring constant $k$. The particle oscillates with a time period $T$. The spring is cut into two equal parts. If one part oscillates with the same particle, the new time period will be

If $b = a - \frac{a^2}{2} + \frac{a^3}{3} - \frac{a^4}{4} + \dots$,then $b + \frac{b^2}{2!} + \frac{b^3}{3!} + \frac{b^4}{4!} + \dots \infty = $
