1 Pint
ReplyDeleteGP -> 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 .....
pint = a / (1 - r)
a = r = 1/2
So pint = 1
How did the pint formula come frm???
Deletethe answer is 1 because .5 is given to the first mathematician .5 is left and out of the remaining if 2.5 is given to the second one again 2.5 is leftand so on....
DeleteIn this ways it will not exceed 1
