    The number \[111..............1\] (91 times) is a

    A) Even number

    B) Prime number

    C) Not prime

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[S=1+10+{{10}^{2}}+......+{{10}^{90}}\]  (91 terms) \[=\frac{1.({{10}^{91}}-1)}{10-1}=\frac{{{({{10}^{13}})}^{7}}-1}{{{10}^{13}}-1}\times \frac{{{10}^{13}}-1}{10-1}\] \[=[{{({{10}^{13}})}^{6}}+{{({{10}^{13}})}^{5}}+{{({{10}^{13}})}^{4}}+......1]\] \[({{10}^{12}}+{{10}^{11}}+......+1)\] It is the product of two integers and hence not prime.
