The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum \( S_n \) of the series \( 1 + 22 + 333 + \ldots + \underbrace{nnn\ldots n}_{n \text{ times}} \) for \( n \) ranging from 1 to 9. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Series**: The series can be expressed as: \[ S_n = 1 + 22 + 333 + \ldots + \underbrace{nnn\ldots n}_{n \text{ times}} \] Each term \( k \) (where \( k \) ranges from 1 to \( n \)) contributes \( k \) repeated \( k \) times. 2. **Expressing Each Term**: The \( k \)-th term can be expressed as: \[ k \times (10^{k-1} + 10^{k-2} + \ldots + 10^0) = k \times \frac{10^k - 1}{9} \] This is because the sum of a geometric series \( 10^{k-1} + 10^{k-2} + \ldots + 10^0 \) equals \( \frac{10^k - 1}{10 - 1} \). 3. **Calculating \( S_n \)**: Therefore, we can write: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \times \frac{10^k - 1}{9} \] This can be simplified to: \[ S_n = \frac{1}{9} \sum_{k=1}^{n} k (10^k - 1) \] 4. **Splitting the Summation**: We can split the summation: \[ S_n = \frac{1}{9} \left( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 10^k - \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \right) \] The second summation \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \) is the sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers, which equals \( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \). 5. **Finding \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 10^k \)**: To find \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 10^k \), we can use the formula: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k x^k = x \frac{d}{dx} \left( \sum_{k=0}^{n} x^k \right) = x \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1-x^{n+1}}{1-x} \right) \] Evaluating this for \( x = 10 \) gives us: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 10^k = 10 \frac{d}{d10} \left( \frac{1 - 10^{n+1}}{1 - 10} \right) \] 6. **Final Expression for \( S_n \)**: After calculating the above derivatives and substituting back, we can find \( S_n \) in terms of \( n \). 7. **Evaluating for \( n = 9 \)**: Finally, we can substitute \( n = 9 \) into our expression for \( S_n \) to find the required sum.

To solve the problem, we need to find the sum \( S_n \) of the series \( 1 + 22 + 333 + \ldots + \underbrace{nnn\ldots n}_{n \text{ times}} \) for \( n \) ranging from 1 to 9. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Series**: The series can be expressed as: \[ S_n = 1 + 22 + 333 + \ldots + \underbrace{nnn\ldots n}_{n \text{ times}} ...
