Use

Sum of n terms of a GP -

S_{n}= \left\{\begin{matrix} a\frac{\left ( r^{n}-1 \right )}{r-1}, &if \: r\neq 1 \\ n\, a, & if \, r= 1 \end{matrix}\right.

 

- wherein

a\rightarrow first term

r\rightarrow common ratio

n\rightarrow number of terms    

 

 and

 

(10)9 + 2(11)1 (10)8 + 3(11)2 (10)7 +......  +10 (11)9 = k(10)9

Take common 109

10^{9}\left [ 1+2\times \frac{11}{10}+3\times \left ( \frac{11}{10} \right )^{2}+\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot 10\times \left ( \frac{11}{10} \right ) ^{9}\right ]= k\left ( 10 \right )^{9}

\therefore k= 1+2x+3x^{2}+\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot 10x^{9} \: where \:\:x=\frac{11}{10}

   kx= x+2x^{2}+3x^{3}+\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot 10x^{10}

Subtract

k-kx= 1+x+x^{2}+x^{3}+x^{4}\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (-10x^{10})

k(1-x)= \frac{1(x^{10}-1)}{x-1}-10x^{10}

k\left ( 1-\frac{11}{10} \right )= \frac{\left ( \frac{11}{10} \right )^{10}-1}{\frac{11}{10}-1}-10\times \left ( \frac{11}{10} \right )^{10}

-\frac{k}{10}= \frac{\left ( \frac{11}{10} \right )^{10}}{\frac{1}{10}}-10-\frac{11^{10}}{10^{9}}

 

\therefore k=100


Option 1)

100

Option 2)

110

Option 3)

\frac{121}{10}

Option 4)

\frac{441}{100}
