उत्तर
\[\text { Let the given series be }a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + . . . + a_{2n} . \]
\[\text { Now, it is given that }a_1 = 1, a_2 = a a_1 , a_3 = c a_2 , a_4 = a a_3 , a_5 = c a_4 \text { and so on } . \]
\[ \because a_1 = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow a_1 = 1, a_2 = a, a_3 = ac, a_4 = a^2 c, a_5 = a^2 c^{2,} a_6 = a^3 c^2 , . . . . . \]
\[ \therefore\text { Sum of the 2n terms of the series }, \]
\[ S_n = a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + . . . + a_{2n} \]
\[ = 1 + a + ac + a^2 c + a^2 c^2 + . . . + 2n \text { terms }\]
\[ = \left( 1 + a \right) + ac\left( 1 + a \right) + a^2 c^2 \left( 1 + a \right) + . . . + \text { n terms }\]
\[ = \left( 1 + a \right)\left\{ \frac{1 - \left( ac \right)^n}{1 - ac} \right\} \]
\[ = \left( 1 + a \right) \left\{ \frac{\left( ac \right)^n - 1}{ac - 1} \right\}\]
