Correct answer

C. 31

Step-by-step solution

∑n=0∞ar⁡n=57a+ar+ar2+∞=57a1−r=57…(I)∑n=0∞a3r3n=9747a3+a3⋅r3+a3⋅r6+……….…=9746a31−r3=9746…(II)(I)3(II)⇒a3(1−r)3a31−r3=5739717=19a=19∴a+18r=19+18×23=31\begin{aligned} & \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \operatorname{ar}^{\mathrm{n}}=57 \\ & \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{ar}+\mathrm{ar}^2+\infty=57 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{a}}{1-\mathrm{r}}=57 \ldots(I)\\ & \sum_{\mathrm{n}=0}^{\infty} \mathrm{a}^3 \mathrm{r}^{3 \mathrm{n}}=9747 \\ & \mathrm{a}^3+\mathrm{a}^3 \cdot \mathrm{r}^3+\mathrm{a}^3 \cdot \mathrm{r}^6+\ldots \ldots \ldots . \ldots=9746 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{a}^3}{1-\mathrm{r}^3}=9746 \ldots(II)\\ & \frac{(\mathrm{I})^3}{(\mathrm{II})} \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\mathrm{a}^3}{(1-\mathrm{r})^3}}{\frac{\mathrm{a}^3}{1-\mathrm{r}^3}}=\frac{57^3}{9717}=19 \\ & \mathrm{a}=19 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{a}+18 \mathrm{r}=19+18 \times \frac{2}{3}=31 \\ & \end{aligned}
On solving, r=23\mathrm{r}=\frac{2}{3} and r=32\mathrm{r}=\frac{3}{2} (rejected ))a=19∴a+18r=19+18×23=31\begin{aligned} & a=19 \\ & \therefore a+18 r=19+18 \times \frac{2}{3}=31\end{aligned}$$
