[0.1+0.11+0.111+………] *9/9
=[0.9+0.99+0.999+…….]*1/9
=[(1-0.1)+ (1-0.01)+ (1-0.001)+….]*1/9
=n-(0.1+0.01+0.001+…….) * 1/9
(0.1+0.01+0.001+…….) is a G.P with common ratio 0.1;
Sum of terms of G.P = a(1-rn)/(1-r)
i.e, (0.1+0.01+0.001+…….) = 0.1(1-0.1n)/(1-0.1)
i.e,( 1-0.1n )/9
therefore it becomes , {n-( 1-0.1n )/9}*1/9
