Common ratio (r) = 133=13.\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{1}{3}.331=31.
S=a(1−rn)(1−r)..........(As∣r∣<1)=3×[1−(13)n]1−13=3×[1−(13)n]23=33×[1−(13)n]2=332(1−13n)S = \dfrac{a(1 - r^n)}{(1 - r)} ……….(As |r| \lt 1) \\[1em] = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} \times \Big[1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{3}\Big)^n\Big]}{1 - \dfrac{1}{3}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} \times \Big[1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{3}\Big)^n\Big]}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3} \times \Big[1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{3}\Big)^n\Big]}{2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big(1 - \dfrac{1}{3^n}\Big)S=(1−r)a(1−rn)……….(As∣r∣<1)=1−313×[1−(31)n]=323×[1−(31)n]=233×[1−(31)n]=233(1−3n1)
Hence, sum = 332(1−13n)\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big(1 - \dfrac{1}{3^n}\Big)233(1−3n1).
