Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

that implies I can apply the ratio test on an alternating series, right?
yes, it will tell about absolute convergence of alternating series.
sorry to say but I remember you telling me that we cant use alternating series in a ratio test, what about that?
to check alternating series , we use leibnitz test . But ratio test , root test are used for checking absolute convergence and absolute convergence implies convergence . if we want to check absolute convergence of alternating series , then we can use ratio or root test , that's why there is modulus sign these ratio and root test .
