(A) Let the sum be $S = 1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{6}{3^2} + \frac{10}{3^3} + \frac{14}{3^4} + \dots$ This is an arithmetico-geometric series where the numerator terms $1, 2, 6, 10, 14, \dots$ follow an arithmetic progression starting from the second term,and the denominators are powers of $3$. Let $S = 1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{6}{3^2} + \frac{10}{3^3} + \frac{14}{3^4} + \dots$ Divide by $3$: $\frac{S}{3} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3^2} + \frac{6}{3^3} + \frac{10}{3^4} + \dots$ Subtracting the two equations: $S - \frac{S}{3} = 1 + (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{6}{3^2} - \frac{2}{3^2}) + (\frac{10}{3^3} - \frac{6}{3^3}) + (\frac{14}{3^4} - \frac{10}{3^4}) + \dots$ $\frac{2S}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{3^2} + \frac{4}{3^3} + \frac{4}{3^4} + \dots$ $\frac{2S}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} + [\frac{4}{3^2} + \frac{4}{3^3} + \frac{4}{3^4} + \dots]$ The term in the bracket is an infinite geometric series with first term $a = \frac{4}{9}$ and common ratio $r = \frac{1}{3}$. Sum $= \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{4/9}{1 - 1/3} = \frac{4/9}{2/3} = \frac{4}{9} 	imes \frac{3}{2} = \frac{2}{3}$. So,$\frac{2S}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = 1 + 1 = 2$. $S = 2 	imes \frac{3}{2} = 3$.
