Sum of n n terms of a G.P. series whose first term is a a and common ratio r > 1 r>1 is a ( r n 1 ) r 1 \dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1} . Here a = 1 3 a=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3} and r = 3 r=\sqrt 3 . So, the sum is 19682 3 × ( 3 1 ) = 9841 ( 3 + 1 ) 3 \dfrac{19682}{\sqrt 3\times (\sqrt 3-1)}=\boxed {\dfrac{9841(\sqrt 3+1)}{\sqrt 3}}
