    Which of the following rational numbers have terminating decimal?
    (i) \[\frac{16}{50}\]                               
    (ii) \[\frac{5}{18}\]        
    (iii) \[\frac{2}{21}\]
    (iv) \[\frac{7}{250}\]

    A) (i) and (ii)

    B) (ii) and (iii)

    C) (i) and (iii)

    D) (i) and (iv)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sol.      [d] (i) \[\frac{16}{50}=\frac{{{2}^{4}}}{2\times {{5}^{2}}}\]  (ii) \[\frac{5}{18}=\frac{5}{2\times {{3}^{2}}}\]
    (iii) \[\frac{2}{21}=\frac{2}{3\times 7}\]              (iv) \[\frac{7}{250}=\frac{7}{{{5}^{3}}\times 2}\]
    We have. (i) and (iv) having denominator of the form \[{{2}^{m}}\times {{5}^{n}}\].
    So, they are terminating.
