Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

7/18

Solution :

The correct answer is 7/18.

We are asked to find the value of the given continued fraction expression:
1 - 1 1 + 1 2 - 1 2 + 1 3

To evaluate this expression, we solve from the innermost denominator at the bottom step-by-step upward.

Step 1: Simplify the bottom-most addition:
2 + 1 3 = 6 + 1 3 = 7 3

Step 2: Substitute this result into the next denominator layer:
2 - 1 7 / 3 = 2 - 3 7 = 14 - 3 7 = 11 7

Step 3: Substitute this value into the next layer:
1 + 1 11 / 7 = 1 + 7 11 = 11 + 7 11 = 18 11

Step 4: Evaluate the fraction with this denominator:
1 18 / 11 = 11 18

Step 5: Perform the final subtraction:
1 - 11 18 = 18 - 11 18 = 7 18

Thus, the value of the given expression is 7/18.
