Please explain the question with full steps. If S is the sum of all the digits of the natural number N = 1+11+111+....... to 2011 terms, then the sum of the digits of S is (a) 17 (b) 18 (c) 19 (d) 21

Now what to do ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets see

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yaa please

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this has something to do with n(n+1)/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the sum of the digits? as in add up all the ones?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1+11+111 would equate to what; 6(1) = 6 then ? I cant tell if Im reading it right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a(0) = 1 a(2) = 2 a(3) = 3 a(4) = 4 . . . a(n) = n . . . a(2011) = 2011 2011(2012) ----------- = number of digits? 2023066 ones then doesnt 2 sound like I understood the question :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but, maybe it means: 1 + 11 + 111 = 123 = 6? thats plausible

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1234 = 10 12345=15 123456=21 1234567=28 thats doesnt match an option either; so there needs to be more explanation as to what it is we need to accomplish
