Find radius of convergence of the power series.

Find the radius of convergence of power series $$ sum_{n=0}^{infty} 2^{2n} x^{n^2}$$
A)1



B)2



C) 4



D)1/4



I try to apply ratio and root test ( Cauchy–Hadamard theorem ) .but they don't seem promising as I was left with $|x^n|$ .



But I find solution by trial and error . I substitute 1 for x , series diverges , so 2,4 cannot be radius of convergence, and I substitute 1/2 the series converges .so the answer is 1.



Please help me how to proceed in problem like this.

          Since$$leftlvertfrac{2^{2(n+1)}x^{(n+1)^2}}{2^{2n}x^{n^2}}rightrvert=2^2lvert xrvert^{2n+1},$$the series converges absolutely if $lvert xrvert<1$ and diverges if $lvert xrvert>1$. So, the radius of convergence is $1$.
