Five inductors are connected in series. The lowest value is 8 μH. If the value of each inductor is twice that of the preceding one, and if the inductors are connected in order of ascending values, the total inductance is

                Or you could realize that you have a geometric series with 5 terms and use the formula.
s = a* (1-r^n) / (1-r) where in this case a is 8 uH, n is 5, and R is 2.
                s = a* (1-r^n) / (1-r) where in this case a is 8 uH, n is 5, and R is 2.

                The inductances values are 8,16,32,64,128
Therefore total inductance connected in series = 8+16+32+64+128 = 248
                Therefore total inductance connected in series = 8+16+32+64+128 = 248

                Total inductance = L1 + L2 + L3 + L4 + L5.
L1 = 8 L2 = 16 L3 = 32 L4 = 64 L5 = 128.
8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 248.
                L1 = 8 L2 = 16 L3 = 32 L4 = 64 L5 = 128.
8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 248.

                Yes, correct @D.Ramesh.
