    The sum of the series \[6+66+666+..........\]upto \[n\] terms is [IIT 1974]

    A) \[({{10}^{n-1}}-9n+10)/81\]

    B) \[2({{10}^{n+1}}-9n-10)/27\]

    C) \[2({{10}^{n}}-9n-10)/27\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given series \[6+66+666+........+\]upto \[n\] terms     \[=\frac{6}{9}(9+99+999+.....\]upto \[n\] terms)           \[=\frac{2}{3}(10+{{10}^{2}}+{{10}^{3}}+..........+\]upto \[n\] terms \[-n\])           \[=\frac{2}{3}\left( \frac{10({{10}^{n}}-1)}{10-1}-n \right)=\frac{1}{27}\,[20({{10}^{n}}-1)-18n]\]    \[=\frac{2({{10}^{n+1}}-9n-10)}{27}\].
