  4. D.$${{441} \over {100}}$$

Answer

A. 100

Explanation

Let $${10^9} + 2.\left( {11} \right){\left( {10} \right)^8} + 3{\left( {11} \right)^2}{\left( {10} \right)^7} + ...$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + 10{\left( {11} \right)^9} = k{\left( {10} \right)^9}$$ Let $$x = {10^9} + 2.\left( {11} \right){\left( {10} \right)^8} + 3{\left( {11} \right)^2}{\left( {10} \right)^7}$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + ..... + 10{\left( {11} \right)^9}$$ Multiplied by $${{11} \over {10}}$$ on both the sides $${{11} \over {10}}x = {11.10^8} + 2.{\left( {11} \right)^2}.{\left( {10} \right)^7} + .....$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + 9\left( {11} \right){}^9 + {11^{10}}$$ $$x\left( {1 - {{11} \over {10}}} \right) = {10^9} + 11{\left( {10} \right)^8} + 11{}^2 \times {\left( {10} \right)^7}$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + ... + {11^9} - {11^{10}}$$ $$ \Rightarrow - {x \over {10}} = {10^9}\left[ {{{{{\left( {{{11} \over {10}}} \right)}^{10}} - 1} \over {{{11} \over {10}} - 1}}} \right] - {11^{10}}$$ $$ \Rightarrow - {x \over {10}} = \left( {{{11}^{10}} - {{10}^{10}}} \right) - {11^{10}} = - {10^{10}}$$ $$ \Rightarrow x = {10^{11}} = k{.10^9}$$ Given $$ \Rightarrow k = 100$$
