Let $$a,ar,a{r^2}$$ are in $$G.P.$$

According to the question

$$a,2ar,a{r^2}$$ are in $$A.P.$$

$$ \Rightarrow 2 \times 2ar = a + a{r^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow 4r = 1 + {r^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {r^2} - 4r + 1 = 0$$

$$r = {{4 \pm \sqrt {16 - 4} } \over 2} = 2 \pm \sqrt 3 $$

Since $$r > 1$$

$$\therefore$$ $$\pi = 2 - \sqrt 3 $$ is rejected

Hence, $$r = 2 + \sqrt 3 $$

Given sequence can be written as

$${7 \over {10}} + {{77} \over {100}} + {{777} \over {{{10}^3}}} + ..... + $$ up to $$20$$ terms

$$ = 7\left[ {{1 \over {10}} + {{11} \over {100}} + {{111} \over {{{10}^3}}} + ...... + } \right.\,\,$$ up to $$20$$ terms ]

Multiply and divide by $$9$$

$$ = {7 \over 9}\left[ {{9 \over {10}} + {{99} \over {100}} + {{999} \over {1000}} + ......} \right.\,\,$$ $$+$$ up to $$20$$ terms ]

$$ = {7 \over 9}\left[ {\left( {1 - {1 \over {10}}} \right)} \right. + \left( {1 - {1 \over {{{10}^2}}}} \right) + \left( {1 - {1 \over {{{10}^3}}}} \right) + ......$$ $$+$$ up to $$20$$ terms ]

$$ = {7 \over 9}\left[ {20 - {{{1 \over {10}}\left( {1 - {{\left( {{1 \over {10}}} \right)}^{20}}} \right)} \over {1 - {1 \over {10}}}}} \right]$$

$$ = {7 \over 9}\left[ {{{179} \over 9} + {1 \over 9}{{\left( {{1 \over {10}}} \right)}^{20}}} \right]$$

$$ = {7 \over {81}}\left[ {179 + {{\left( {10} \right)}^{ - 20}}} \right]$$

$$n$$^th term of the given series

$$ = {T_n} = {\left( {n - 1} \right)^2} + \left( {n - 1} \right)n + {n^2}$$

$$ = {{\left( {{{\left( {n - 1} \right)}^3} - {n^3}} \right)} \over {\left( {n - 1} \right) - n}}$$

$$ = {n^3} - {\left( {n - 1} \right)^3}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {S_n} = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {\left[ {{k^3} - {{\left( {k - 1} \right)}^3}} \right]} $$

$$ \Rightarrow 8000 = {n^3}$$

$$ \Rightarrow n = 20\,\,$$ which is a natural number.

Now, put $$n = 1,2,3,.....20$$

$${T_1} = {1^3} - {0^3}$$

$${T_2} = {2^3} - {1^3}$$

.

.

.

$${T_{20}} = {20^3} - {19^3}$$

Now, $${T_1} + {T_2} + ..... + {T_{20}} = {S_{20}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {S_{20}} = {20^3} - {0^3} = 8000$$

Hence, both the given statements are true and statement $$2$$ supports statement $$1.$$

Let required number of months $$=n$$

$$\therefore$$ $$200 \times 3 + \left( {240 + 280 + 320 + ...} \right.$$

$$\left. {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + {{\left( {n - 3} \right)}^{th}}\,term} \right) = 11040$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{n - 3} \over 2}\left[ {2 \times 240 + \left( {n - 4} \right) \times 40} \right]$$

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 11040 - 600$$

$$ \Rightarrow \left( {n - 3} \right)\left[ {240 + 20n - 80} \right] = 10440$$

$$ \Rightarrow \left( {n - 3} \right)\left( {20n + 160} \right) = 10440$$

$$ \Rightarrow \left( {n - 3} \right)\left( {n + 8} \right) = 522$$

$$ \Rightarrow {n^2} + 5n - 546 = 0$$

$$ \Rightarrow \left( {n + 26} \right)\left( {n - 21} \right) = 0$$

$$\therefore$$ $$n = 21$$
