My attempt:

$1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1.3}{3.6}+\frac{1.3.5}{3.6.9}+\frac{1.3.5.7}{3.6.9.12}....$

=$1+\frac{1}{6}$.$2\choose 1$+$\frac{1}{6^2}$.$4\choose 2$+$\frac{1}{6^3}$.$8\choose 4$+.......+$\frac{1}{6^{n-1}}$.$2n-2\choose n-1$+...........

But I am perplexed as to what should be my next step?

Options:

(A)$\sqrt{2}$

(B)$\sqrt{3}$

(C)$\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}$

(D)$\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

One edit $t_n=\dfrac{1.3.5.7.....(2n-3)}{3^{n-1}(1.2.3....(n-1))}$

$=\dfrac{(2n-2)!}{(6^{n-1}(n-1)!(n-1)!)}$

$=\dfrac{1}{6^{n-1}}$.$2n-2\choose n-1$

Is this going to help me?

    Adding the first three terms lets you exclude all options but one... That's not satisfying in any way, but if they are stupid enough to give you those options, I guess that's on them. – Arthur Sep 18 '18 at 07:13

  • @lab bhattacharjee How did you know this stuff on the first place? I mean I want to see the flow of your thought process.The process is really splendid. – Saradamani Sep 18 '18 at 07:28
