Can this be the correct form? " he was persistent to do it in spite of my advice".

"persist" word must followed by gerund verb. It's a grammar rule.

@Alphin, Persisted could be followed by to/in/on/with etc. So your point may not be valid if this point is correct.

To is followed by verb which indicate a kind of motion like come, go, went, etc.

@Mounika:
Gerund verb means verb + ing.
Gerund verb means verb + ing.

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

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

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