Question
If (10)9 + 2(11)1 (10)8 + 3(11)2 (10)7+ ... + 10(11)9 = k(10)9, then k is equal to
Options
A.100
B.110
C.

D.

Solution
109 + 2.(11)(10)8 + 3(11)2(10)7 +... + 10(11)9 = k(10)9
x = 109 + 2.(11)(10)8 + 3(11)2(10)7+ ... + 10(11)9
x = 11.108 + 2.(11)2.(10)7 +... + 9(11)9 + 1110
x
= 109 + 11(10)8 + 112 × (10)7 +... +119 - 1110
⇒ -
= 109
- 1110
⇒ -
= (1110 - 1010 ) - 1110 = - 1010
⇒ x = 1011 = k.109
⇒ k = 100
x = 109 + 2.(11)(10)8 + 3(11)2(10)7+ ... + 10(11)9
x = 11.108 + 2.(11)2.(10)7 +... + 9(11)9 + 1110
x
= 109 + 11(10)8 + 112 × (10)7 +... +119 - 1110 ⇒ -
= 109
- 1110⇒ -
= (1110 - 1010 ) - 1110 = - 1010⇒ x = 1011 = k.109
⇒ k = 100
