Subject + verb then use gerund form after the verb instead of infinity form.

After preposition we use "ing" Form of the verb. So persist in doing is correct.

The solution is wrong. After "to" verb should be in simple form.

Here doing is using as a gerund. One can use gerund, that is verb+ing after preposition 'to'.

Here you can see instead of inspite = in spite. So this is also wrong.
