1st point is :
it is an infinite GP Series.
2nd point :
each term is equal to 2 times the sum of the terms that follow.
Now, the first term is $8$.
∴ The series must be decreasing & $8 = 4 \times 2$
∴ Sum of the terms that follow $8$ is $4$.
∴ $\color{green}{\text{Sum of the series}}$ = $\text{First term + Sum of the terms that follow the first term}$
$ \qquad \qquad = 8 + 4$
$ \qquad \qquad = \color{Gold}{12}$
