Solution

The given series is a geometric series where each term is 11 times the previous term.

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series can be found using the formula:

S_n = a * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

where: S_n is the sum of the first n terms, a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

In this case, a = 11, r = 11, and n = 5.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

S_5 = 11 * (11^5 - 1) / (11 - 1)

Solving this gives:

S_5 = 11 * (161051 - 1) / 10

S_5 = 11 * 161050 / 10

S_5 = 177155

So, the sum of the first 5 terms of the series is 177155. Therefore, the correct choice is 177155.
