A. $$\frac{{99}}{{100}}$$
B. $$\frac{{999}}{{1000}}$$
C. $$\frac{{9999}}{{10000}}$$
D. 1
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Given expression,}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{4 - 1}}{{4 \times 1}} + \frac{{9 - 4}}{{9 \times 4}} + \frac{{16 - 9}}{{16 \times 9}} + ..... \cr & = \left( {1 - \frac{1}{4}} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9}} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{{16}}} \right) + ..... \cr} $$$$ = \left( {\frac{1}{{{1^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{2^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{2^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{3^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{3^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{4^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$.....$$
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore \,{99^{{\text{th}}}}{\text{ term of the series}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{1}{{{{99}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{{100}^2}}}} \right) \cr & \therefore \,\,\,{\text{Given expression,}} \cr} $$
$$\left( {\frac{1}{{{1^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{2^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{2^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{3^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{3^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{4^2}}}} \right) + $$ . . . . . $$ + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{{98}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{{99}^2}}}} \right) + $$ $$\left( {\frac{1}{{{{99}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{{100}^2}}}} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{{100}^2}}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{10000}}} \right) \cr & = \frac{{9999}}{{10000}} \cr} $$
