(C) Let the first term be $b$ and the common ratio be $r$.For an infinite $G.P.$,the sum $S$ is given by $S = \frac{b}{1 - r}$,where $|r| Given $S = 5$,we have $\frac{b}{1 - r} = 5$.This implies $b = 5(1 - r)$.Since $-1 If $r \to 1$,then $b \to 5(1 - 1) = 0$.If $r \to -1$,then $b \to 5(1 - (-1)) = 5(2) = 10$.Thus,for $-1 < r < 1$,the value of $b$ lies in the interval $(0, 10)$.
