Solution :-

7 + 77 + 777 + … to n terms.

Let us take 7 as a common term so we get,

7 [1 + 11 + 111 + … to n terms]

Now multiply and divide by 9 we get,

\( \dfrac{7}{9}\) [9 + 99 + 999 + … n terms]

\( \dfrac{7}{9}\)[(10 – 1) + (102 – 1) + (103 – 1) + … + (10n – 1)]

\( \dfrac{7}{9}\) [(10 + 102 + 103 + … +10n)] –\( \dfrac{7}{9}\) [(1 + 1 + 1 + … to n terms)]

So the terms are in G.P

Where, a = 10, r = \( \dfrac{10^2}{10}\) = 10, n = n

By using the formula,

Sum of GP for n terms =

\( \dfrac{7}{9}\) [\( \dfrac{10}{9}\) (10n – 1) – n]

\( \dfrac{7}{81}\)[10 (10n – 1) – n]

\( \dfrac{7}{81}\)(10n+1 – 9n – 10)
