MCQ
$\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {{i^{2n-1}}}$ is equal to (where $i = -1$ )
  • A
    $48$
  • B
    $48 + i$
  • $47 + i$
  • D
    $48+2i$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$47 + i$
c
$\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {{i^{2n - 1!}}}  = {i^{1!}} + {i^{3!}} + {i^{5!}} + .... + {i^{99!}}$

$ = {{\rm{i}}^1} + {{\rm{i}}^6} + 1 + 1 + .... + 1$

$=\mathrm{i}-1+48=47+\mathrm{i}$
