JEE Main2014MathematicsSequences and SeriesActual
If ( 10 ) 9 + 2 ( 11 ) 1 ( 10 ) 8 + 3 ( 11 ) 2 ( 10 ) 7 + ...... + 10 ( 11 ) 9 = k ( 10 ) 9 , then k is equal to :
Options
- A100
- B110
- C1 2 1 1 0
- D4 4 1 1 0 0
Correct answer
A. 100
Step-by-step solution
Let, S = ( 10 ) 9 + 2 ( 11 ) 1   ( 10 ) 8 + 3 ( 11 ) 2   ( 10 ) 7 + ...... + 10 ( 11 ) 9   = k ( 10 ) 9 S = ( 10 ) 9 1 + 2 11 10 + 3 11 10 2 + . .... + 10 11 10 9 So, k = 1 + 2 11 10 + 3 11 10 2 + . .... + 10 11 10 9 11 10 k = 11 10 + 2 11 10 2 + 3 11 10 3 + . .... + 10 11 10 10 Subtracting − k 10 = 1 + 11 10 + 11 10 2 + . … … + 11 10 9 − 10 11 10 10 Here, First term = 1 Common ratio = 11 10 Number of terms = 10 ∴         k 10 = 10 11 10 10 − 1
