If
Sn=1+12+14+…12n−1&2−Sn<1100S_{n} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \ldots\frac{1}{2^{n - 1}}\& 2 - S_{n} < \frac{1}{100}
then the least value of n is

Show answer and solution
Sn=2−12n−1S_{n} = 2 - \frac{1}{2^{n - 1}}
2−Sn=22n−1<11002 - S_{n} = \frac{2}{2^{n - 1}} < \frac{1}{100}
n>7n > 7 nleast=8n_{least} = 8
