Sn = 0.7 + 0.77 + 0.777 + … upto n terms
= 7(0.1 + 0.11 + 0.111 + … upton terms)
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)(0.9 + 0.99 + 0.999 + … upto n terms)
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)[(1 – 0.1) + (1 – 0.01) + (1 – 0.001) +… upto n terms]
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)[(1 + 1 + 1 +… n times) – (0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001 +… upto n terms )]
But 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, … n terms are in G.P. with

Question 12.
The value of a house appreciates 5% per year. How much is the house worth after 6 years if its current worth is Rs. 15 Lac. [Given: (1.05)5 = 1.28, (1.05)6 = 1.34]
Solution:
The value of a house is Rs. 15 Lac.
Appreciation rate = 5% = \(\frac{5}{100}\) = 0.05
Value of house after 1st year = 15(1 + 0.05) = 15(1.05)
Value of house after 6 years = 15(1.05) (1.05)5
= 15(1.05)6
= 15(1.34)
= 20.1 lac.

Question 13.
If one invests Rs. 10,000 in a bank at a rate of interest 8% per annum, how long does it take to double the money by compound interest? [(1.08)5 = 1.47]
Solution:
Amount invested = Rs. 10000
Interest rate = \(\frac{8}{100}\) = 0.08
amount after 1st year = 10000(1 + 0.08) = 10000(1.08)
Value of the amount after n years
= 10000(1.08) × (1.08)n-1
= 10000(1.08)n
= 20000
∴ (1.08)n = 2
∴ (1.08)5 = 1.47 …..[Given]
∴ n = 10 years, (approximately)
