Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : The sum of $n$ terms of the Progression $1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^{2}}+\frac{1}{2^{3}}+$ is $\frac{2^{n-1}-1}{2^{n-1}}$. Reason (R) : Sum of a geometric series having $n$ terms is given by $S_{n}=\frac{a\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}$, where $a$ is the $1^{\text {st }}$ term and $r$ is the common ratio.

Assertion [A]: Sum of the first hundred even natural numbers divisible by 5 is 45050. <br>Reason (R): Sum of the first n-terms of an Arithmetic Progression is given by $S = (n/2) *(a + l)$ where a=first term, l=last term. <br>Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The sum of $n-$ terms of sequence $\frac{1}{1 \times 2}+\frac{1}{2 \times 3}+\frac{1}{3 \times 4} \ldots \ldots$. Is

The value of $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{8}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{7}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{6}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}})$ is

If the $m^{\text{th}}$ term of an arithmetic progression is $\frac{1}{n}$ and the $n^{\text{th}}$ term is $\frac{1}{m}$, then the $mn^{\text{th}}$ term of this progression will be
