As we learnt in 

Sum of infinite terms of an AGP -

S_{\infty }= \frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{\left ( 1-r \right )^{2}}\\here \: \left | r \right |< 1

- wherein

a\rightarrow first term

d\rightarrow common diff. of a AP

r\rightarrow common ratio of a GP

 

 S_{\infty }=\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{2^{2}}+\frac{7}{2^{3}}+...........\infty \\*\\*\frac{S_{\infty }}{2}=\frac{3}{2^{2}}+\frac{5}{2^{3}}+...........\infty \\*\\*\frac{S_{\infty }}{2}=\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^{2}}+...........\infty \\*\\*\frac{S_{\infty }}{2}=\frac{3}{2}+1\\*\\*S_{\infty }=5
