Find the sum to infinity of the following series. 0.5 + 0.05 + 0.005 + 0.0005 + .....

A
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
B
\(\frac{5}{7}\)
C
\(\frac{5}{11}\)
D
\(\frac{5}{9}\)

Correct Option: D

Using S(\infty) = (\frac{a}{1 - r})

r = (\frac{0.05}{0.5}) = (\frac{1}{10})

S(\infty) = (\frac{0.5}{{\frac{1}{10}}})


= (\frac{0.5}{({\frac{9}{10}})})

= (\frac{0.5 \times 10}{9})

= (\frac{5}{9})
