Dear Rohan,

The given sequence is 8, 88, 888, 8888…
This sequence is not a G.P. However, it can be changed to G.P. by writing the terms as
Sn = 8 + 88 + 888 + 8888 + …………….. to n terms

Its too easy (6+66+666+6666+.............n terms)

take common 6 ( 1+11+111............) multiply by 9

then 6/9 (9+99+999+.........)

6/9(10+100+1000+......-1-1-1-1 n)

6+66+666+..6(1+11+111+...)Multiply&Divide by 96/9(9+99+999+.....)6/9[(10-1)+(100-1)+(1000-1)+...]6/9[10+10²+10³+....]-[(1)(1)...... n times]Here a=10 and r=10 Hence, S = a.r^n-1/ r-1S= 10(10^n-1)/10-1S=10(10^n-1)/9=> 6/9[10/9(10^n-1) - n]
