We have,

$\frac{1}{1 \cdot (1 + d)} + \frac{1}{(1 + d) (1 + 2 d)} + \dots + \frac{1}{(1 + 9 d) (1 + 10 d)} = 5$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{r = 1}^{10} [\frac{1}{{1 + (r - 1) d} {1 + r d}}] = 5$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{r = 1}^{10} \frac{1}{d} [\frac{1}{1 + (r - 1) d} - \frac{1}{1 + r d}] = 5$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{d} \sum_{r = 1}^{10} [\frac{1}{1 + (r - 1) d} - \frac{1}{1 + r d}] = 5$

$\Rightarrow [\frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{1 + d}] + [\frac{1}{1 + d} - \frac{1}{1 + 2 d}] + \dots + [\frac{1}{1 + 9 d} - \frac{1}{1 + 10 d}] = 5 d$

$\Rightarrow 1 - \frac{1}{1 + 10 d} = 5 d \Rightarrow \frac{10 d}{1 + 10 d} = 5 d$

$\Rightarrow 5 + 50 d = 10 \Rightarrow 50 d = 5$

Solution
