Correct answer
A 100

Step-by-step explanation

Let, S= ( 10 ) 9 +2 ( 11 ) 1   ( 10 ) 8 +3 ( 11 ) 2   ( 10 ) 7 +......+10 ( 11 ) 9  =k ( 10 ) 9

S=(10)91+21110+311102+.....+1011109

So,k=1+21110+311102+.....+1011109

1110k=1110+211102+311103+.....+10111010

Subtracting

k10=1+1110+11102+.+1110910111010
Here,

First term =1

Common ratio = 11 10

Number of terms =10

    k10=101110101111010111101

k=1010111010101110101

k=100111010100111010+100
k=100
