A.
Step-by-step solution
The series is a G.P. with common ratio
and |\mathrm{r}|=\left|\frac{1-3 \mathrm{x}}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}\right|\mathrm{x}\mathrm{S}_{\infty}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{1-\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\frac{1}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}}{1-\left\{-\left(\frac{1-3 \mathrm{x}}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}\right)\right\}}=\frac{1}{2}
