    Which of the following rational numbers have non-terminating repeating decimal expansion?

    A) \[\frac{31}{2125}\]

    B) \[\frac{17}{512}\]

    C) \[\frac{23}{200}\]

    D) \[None\,\, of\,\, these\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Sol.      [a] a. \[\frac{31}{2125}=\frac{31}{{{5}^{3}}\times 17}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{31}{2125}\] has non-terminating repeating decimal.
    b. \[\frac{17}{512}=\frac{17}{{{2}^{9}}\times {{5}^{0}}}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\frac{17}{512}\] will have a terminating decimal expansion.
    c. \[\frac{23}{200}=\frac{23}{{{2}^{3}}\times {{5}^{2}}}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{23}{200}\] will have a terminating decimal expansion.
