Persist in used with prepositions 'in' and 'with' (not always) and not with 'to'. So we use either persisted in or persisted with.
Now,
Persist in = to do something repeatedly without any intention to stop it.
Persist with = to continue the state of something.
(I got this after searching on google and referring to some standard foreign authors book) :)

Persist, insist such type of words is always followed by gerund verb+ing so it should be in doing as persist takes the preposition in.

The line must be written as is. You cannot change the order. But only the verbal error.

So, to do or in doing both are correct? Tell me.

To do and doing both are giving the same sense (gerund). We can use one of them. So the above sentence is right way.
