  1. Find the nth term of the following sequence :
    5 + 55 + 555 + ....... Tn
    1. 5(10n – 1)
    2. 5n(10n – 1)
    3. 5
      (10n - 1)
      9
    4. 5
      n(10n - 1)
      9
Correct Option: C

Given , Series = 5 + 55 + 555 +....+ Tn
Series = 5(1 + 11 + 111 + ..... to n terms)
Multiplying and divided by 9 in series, we get

Series =
5
(9 + 99 + 999 + ..... to n terms)
9

=
5
{(10 – 1) + (10² –1) +.....+ (10n – 1)}
9

∴ nth term =
5
(10n – 1)
9
