Solution :-

0.5 + 0.55 + 0.555 + …. to n terms

Let us take 5 as a common term so we get,

5(0.1 + 0.11 + 0.111 + …n terms)

Now multiply and divide by 9 we get,

\( \dfrac{5}{9}\) [0.9 + 0.99 + 0.999 + …+ to n terms]

\( \dfrac{5}{9}[\dfrac{9}{10} + \dfrac{9}{100} + \dfrac{9}{1000} + … + n terms]\) 

This can be written as

\( \dfrac{5}{9}(\dfrac{n – 1}{9} )(1 – \dfrac{1}{10^n})\)
