Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Sum to infinity of a G.P when /r/ < 1 = \(\frac{a}{1 - r}\)

a = \(\frac{9}{2},r = \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{2}\)

r = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{1}{6}\)

\(S_∞ = \frac{\frac{9}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{6}} = \frac{\frac{9}{2}}{\frac{5}{6}} = \frac{27}{5}\)

\(\therefore S_∞ = 5\frac{2}{5}\)
