JEE Main 2024 (Online) 6th April Evening Shift Mathematics - Sequences and Series Question 17 English Explanation

△ABC\triangle A B C is an equilateral triangle having side =a=a unit

Now, perimeter == sum of all sides =3a=3 a

Area =34a2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2

Now, ln⁡△DEF,DE=a2=EF=DF\ln \triangle D E F, D E=\frac{a}{2}=E F=D F

amp; Perimeter =3×a2=3a2amp; Area =34×(a2)2=3a216\begin{aligned}& \text { Perimeter }=3 \times \frac{a}{2}=\frac{3 a}{2} \\& \text { Area }=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\sqrt{3} a^2}{16}\end{aligned}

Now, P=3a+3a2+3a4+⋯P=3 a+\frac{3 a}{2}+\frac{3 a}{4}+\cdots

Q=34a2+316a2+364a2+⋯Q=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16} a^2+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{64} a^2+\cdots

P=3a1−12=3a×2⇒P=6a.... (i)P=\frac{3 a}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=3 a \times 2 \Rightarrow P=6 a \quad \text{.... (i)}

Q=34a21−14=43×34a2Q=33a2.... (ii)Q=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 \quad Q=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} a^2 \quad \text{.... (ii)}

From equation (i) & (ii)

amp;P=6aamp;Q=33a2amp;Q=33×P236amp;P2=363Q\begin{aligned}& P=6 a \\& Q=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} a^2 \\& Q=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \times \frac{P^2}{36} \\& P^2=36 \sqrt{3} Q\end{aligned}
