The correct answer is: $\frac{2^{n}-1}{n+1}$
We have,
$c_{1} x+c_{3} x^{3}+c_{5} x^{5}+\ldots=\frac{1}{2}\left\{(1+x)^{n}-(1-x)^{n}\right\}$
$\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{1}\left(c_{1} x+c_{3} x^{3}+c_{5} x^{5}+\ldots\right) d x$
$=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{1}(1+x)^{n}-(1-x)^{n} d x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{c_{1}}{2}+\frac{c_{3}}{4}+\frac{c_{5}}{6}+\ldots=\frac{2^{n}-1}{n+1}$
$\log _{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4.2}+\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\ldots \infty\right)$
