Given that
X = 5 1 + 5 1 + 5 5 1 + 2 5 1 + . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Now it is easy to determine that it is a Geometric Progression. Now,
a = 5 1 and r = 5 1
Now we know that, in a G.P, sum of infinite terms is given by
S ∞ = 1 − r a .
Therefore,
S ∞ = 1 − 5 1 5 1 = 5 − 1 1 = 4 5 − 1
We know that 5 = 2 . 2 3 6 (approx)
Now,
X = 4 2 . 2 3 6 + 1 = 4 3 . 2 3 6 = 0 . 8 .
Therefore,
⌊ X ⌋ = ⌊ 0 . 8 ⌋ = 0
