first of all take 5 common like this
5(1+11+111+....n)
then multiply and divide by 9
5/9*9(1+11+111+....n)
5/9(9+99+999.....n)
now we can write 9 like this
5/9[(10-1)+(10*10-1)+(10*10*10-1).....n)
now 
5/9(10+10*10+10*10*10....n)-[1+1+1+1....n)
so here  a=10, r=10, r>1
so use this formulae
S=a(r to the power n - 1)/r-1
  = 5/9[10(10 to the power n - 1)/10-1] - n
  = 5/9[10/9(10 to the power n - 1) - n
  = 50/81(10 to the power n -1) - 5/9n this is the answer have fun

Answer:

This is not a GP

Sn = 5+55+555+5555+........ to n terms

  =  5/9(9+99+999+...... to n terms)

   = 5/9[(10-1) + (10^2-1) +(10^3-1) + ...... to n terms]

   =5/9[(10+10^2 + 10^3 + ...... n terms)-(1+1+1+... n terms)]

   =5/9[10(10^n--1)/10-1  -- n]

    = 5/9[10(10^n--1)/9 --- n]
