Detailed Solution

Sum of n terms of a G.P is a.1rn1r

Given series is Sn=0.6+0.66+0.666+

Taking 6 common we get Sn=6(0.1+0.11+0.111+)

Multiplying and dividing by 9 we get

Sn=69(0.9+0.99+0.999+)=23[(10.1)+(10.01)+(10.001)+]=23[(1+1+1+)(0.1+0.01+0.001+)]

But 1+1+1+=n and 0.1+0.01+0.001+ is a G.P with 1st term =a=0.1

And common ratio =r=0.1

We know that sum of n terms of a G.P is a.1rn1r

0.1+0.01+0.001+=0.1×1(0.1)n10.11(0.1)n=1110n=10n110n10.1=1110=9100.1+0.01+0.001+=110×10n110n×109=10n19.10n

Substituting the values in Sn we get

Sn=23n10n19.10n

=2n32(10n1)27.10n
