(B) The sum $S$ of an infinite geometric progression with first term $a$ and common ratio $r$ is given by $S = \frac{a}{1 - r}$,where $|r| Given $a = x$ and $S = 5$,we have $5 = \frac{x}{1 - r}$.Rearranging for $r$,we get $1 - r = \frac{x}{5}$,which implies $r = 1 - \frac{x}{5}$.Since the condition for the sum of an infinite geometric progression to exist is $|r| This inequality can be written as $-1 Subtracting $1$ from all parts,we get $-2 Multiplying by $-5$ (and reversing the inequality signs),we get $10 > x > 0$,which is $0 < x < 10$.

The first term of an infinite geometric progression is $x$ and its sum is $5$. Then:
