Correct Option: C
Expression = 4 + 44 + 444 + ..... to n terms = 4 (1 + 11 + 111 + .....to n terms)
On multiplying by 9 and divided by 9 , we get
Expression = | (9 + 99 + 999 + ..... to n terms) | |
9 |
= | [(10 - 1) + (100 - 1) + (1000 - 1) + ..... to n terms] | |
9 |
= | [(10 + 10² + 10³ + ..... to n terms) - n][ ∵ 1 has been added n times ] | |
9 |
= | [10(1 + 10 + 10² + ..... to n terms) - n] | |
9 |
= | . | - | n | |||
9 | 9 | 9 |
∵ 1 + 10 + 102 + ..... to n terms = | |||
9 |
Expression = | (10n - 1) - | n | ||
81 | 9 |
