Solution
Here, a = 0.15 and r \[= \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{0 . 015}{0 . 15} = \frac{1}{10}\] .
\[S_8 = a\left( \frac{1 - r^8}{1 - r} \right) \]
\[ = 0 . 15\left( \frac{1 - \left( \frac{1}{10} \right)^8}{1 - \frac{1}{10}} \right)\]
\[ = 0 . 15\left( \frac{1 - \frac{1}{{10}^8}}{\frac{1}{10}} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{1}{6}\left( 1 - \frac{1}{{10}^8} \right)\]
