b) S = \(\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+...+\frac{1}{98.99.100}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{2}{1.2.3}+\frac{2}{2.3.4}+...+\frac{2}{98.99.100}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{98.99}-\frac{1}{99.100}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{99.100}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{9900}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{4949}{9900}\)
\(=\frac{4949}{19800}\)
