Hi,

Just multiply and divide by (1-1/5). SO you will see that the first term and the term we introduced are forming the (a-b)(a+b) form. Write this as a^2-b^. Now see the next term , we are again getting (a-b)(a+b) form So in this way each and every next term will be of same form and see the last term. You will get the answer in the same fashion.
