(A) Given that the series are infinite geometric progressions $(G.P.)$.For $x = 1 + a + a^2 + \dots \infty$,the sum is $x = \frac{1}{1 - a}$.Rearranging for $a$,we get $1 - a = \frac{1}{x}$,so $a = 1 - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x - 1}{x}$.Similarly,for $y = 1 + b + b^2 + \dots \infty$,the sum is $y = \frac{1}{1 - b}$.Rearranging for $b$,we get $b = 1 - \frac{1}{y} = \frac{y - 1}{y}$.Now,the series $S = 1 + ab + a^2b^2 + \dots \infty$ is also a $G.P.$ with first term $1$ and common ratio $ab$.Thus,$S = \frac{1}{1 - ab}$.Substituting the values of $a$ and $b$:$S = \frac{1}{1 - (\frac{x - 1}{x})(\frac{y - 1}{y})} = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{(x - 1)(y - 1)}{xy}}$.$S = \frac{xy}{xy - (xy - x - y + 1)} = \frac{xy}{xy - xy + x + y - 1} = \frac{xy}{x + y - 1}$.

If $x = 1 + a + a^2 + \dots \infty$ $(a < 1)$ and $y = 1 + b + b^2 + \dots \infty$ $(b < 1)$,then the value of $1 + ab + a^2b^2 + \dots \infty$ is
