The sum of $100$ terms of the series $.9 + .09 + .009.........$ will be

A

$1 - {\left( {\frac{1}{{10}}} \right)^{100}}$

B

$1 + {\left( {\frac{1}{{10}}} \right)^{100}}$

C

$1 - {\left( {\frac{1}{{10}}} \right)^{106}}$

D

$1 + {\left( {\frac{1}{{10}}} \right)^{106}}$

Solution

(a) Series is a $G.P.$ with $a = 0.9 = \frac{9}{{10}}$ and $r = \frac{1}{{10}} = 0.1$

$\therefore $${S_{100}} = a\left( {\frac{{1 – {r^{100}}}}{{1 – r}}} \right) = \frac{9}{{10}}\left( {\frac{{1 – \frac{1}{{{{10}^{100}}}}}}{{1 – \frac{1}{{10}}}}} \right) = 1 – \frac{1}{{{{10}^{100}}}}$.
