Options
- A7 8 1 1 7 9 + 1 0 - 2 0
- B7 9 9 9 + 1 0 - 2 0
- C7 8 1 1 7 9 - 1 0 - 2 0
- D7 9 9 9 - 1 0 - 2 0
Correct answer
A. 7 8 1 1 7 9 + 1 0 - 2 0
Step-by-step solution
Let, S = 0 · 7 + 0 · 7 7 + 0 · 7 7 7 + . .... , Here, number of terms is n . ⇒ S = 7 9 ( 0 · 9 + 0 · 99 + 0 · 999 + . ...) ⇒ S = 7 9 9 10 + 99 10 2 + 999 10 3 + . . . ⇒ S = 7 9 10 - 1 10 + 10 2 - 1 10 2 + 10 3 - 1 10 3 + . . . ⇒ S = 7 9 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + . . . + 1 - 1 10 + 1 10 2 + 1 10 3 + . . . + 1 10 n ⇒ S = 7 9 n - 1 10 × 1 - 1 10 n 1 - 1 10 For the sum of 20 terms, put n = 20 . ⇒ S = 7 9 2 0 - 1 1 0 × 1 - 1 1 0 2 0 1 - 1 1 0 ⇒S
