    Since transition rates are monthly....
    So how could population be infinite in 1 month's time?

    Yes, the rates are monthly but that doesn't stop the rate of jumping tending towards infinity before the end of the month.

    Part (iii) proves this by showing that the sum to infinity of all the waiting times of the jumps = 1 month

    Good luck!
