HackerEarth A digit in a sequence problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth A digit in a sequence problem solution Bob is writing a program that solves the following problem:
You are given the numbers a,b to display the infinite sequence of numbers a,a+b,a+2*b,…,a+N*b,a..(N+1)*b,… Bob has made a mistake, he namely forgot to draw a space for the division between the numbers, resulting in a long line of numbers. In order not to correct the mistake, Bob decided to find out how to find the kth digit in the formed line (numbering of digits begins with one).
Bob could not find a good solution, so he asks you for help.
