Options
- A85.12
- B92.5
- C96.75
- D100
Correct answer
D. 100
Step-by-step solution
Let x = 1.1 S = 1 + 2 x + 3 x 2 + . . . . . . . . 10 x 9 and x S = x + 2 x 2 + . . . . . . . . 9 x 9 + 10 x 10 Subtracting, we get, S 1 - x = 1 + x + x 2 + . . . . . . . + x 9 - 10 x 10 = x 10 - 1 x - 1 - 10 x 10 ⇒ - S = x 10 - 1 x - 1 2 - 10 x 10 x - 1 ⇒ - S = 1.1 10 - 1 0.1 2 - 10 1.1 10 0.1 = 100 × 1.1 10 - 100 - 100 × 1.1 10 = - 100 ⇒ S = 100 .
