JEE Advanced 2023 — Paper 1 — Question 9

Let 75⋯5⏞r77 \overbrace{5 \cdots 5}^{r} 7 denote the (r+2)(r+2) digit number where the first and the last digits are 7 and the remaining rr digits are 5. Consider the sum S=77+757+7557+…+75⋯5⏞987\mathrm{S}=77+757+7557+\ldots+7 \overbrace{5 \cdots 5}^{98}7. If S=75⋯57⏞99+mn\mathrm{S}=\frac{7 \overbrace{5 \cdots 57}^{99}+\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}}, where m and n are natural numbers less than 3000 , then the value of m+nm+n is

Step-by-step solution

Tr=7×10r−1+5(10r−2+10r−3+…..+10)+7r≥2\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}}=7 \times 10^{\mathrm{r}-1}+5\left(10^{\mathrm{r}-2}+10^{\mathrm{r}-3}+\ldots . .+10\right)+7 \quad \mathrm{r} \geq 2

=7×10r−1+5(10(1−10r−2)1−10)+7=7 \times 10^{\mathrm{r}-1}+5\left(10 \frac{\left(1-10^{\mathrm{r}-2}\right)}{1-10}\right)+7

=7×10r−1+509(10r−2−1)+7=7 \times 10^{\mathrm{r}-1}+\frac{50}{9}\left(10^{\mathrm{r}-2}-1\right)+7

=7×10r−1+50910r−2+139=7 \times 10^{r-1}+\frac{50}{9} 10^{r-2}+\frac{13}{9}

S=∑r=2100 Tr=∑r=2100(7×10r−1+50910r−2+139)\mathrm{S}=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{100} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{100}\left(7 \times 10^{\mathrm{r}-1}+\frac{50}{9} 10^{\mathrm{r}-2}+\frac{13}{9}\right)

=70(1099−110−1)+509×(1099−110−1)+139×99=70\left(\frac{10^{99}-1}{10-1}\right)+\frac{50}{9} \times\left(\frac{10^{99}-1}{10-1}\right)+\frac{13}{9} \times 99

Now, 709[1099−1]+5092(1099−1)+13×11=(7×10100+509×1099+139)+mn\frac{70}{9}\left[10^{99}-1\right]+\frac{50}{9^{2}}\left(10^{99}-1\right)+13 \times 11=\frac{\left(7 \times 10^{100}+\frac{50}{9} \times 10^{99}+\frac{13}{9}\right)+\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}}

⇒79(10100)+509×91099+13×11−5092−709=7n×10100+509n×1099+139n+mn\Rightarrow \frac{7}{9}\left(10^{100}\right)+\frac{50}{9 \times 9} 10^{99}+13 \times 11-\frac{50}{9^{2}}-\frac{70}{9}=\frac{7}{n} \times 10^{100}+\frac{50}{9 n} \times 10^{99}+\frac{13}{9 n}+\frac{m}{n}

n=9\mathrm{n}=9

13×11×92−50−70×9=13+9m13 \times 11 \times 9^{2}-50-70 \times 9=13+9 m

m=1210\mathrm{m}=1210

m+n=1219\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}=1219
