A number 'x' was found to be represented in the simplest pq form. The decimal expansion of this number was found to be 5.3333333333..... .The value of p−q is
We have x=5.3333333...... ------ (i)
Therefore, 10x=53.33333333.... ---- (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get, 10x−x=48
i.e. x=489=163
So, p−q=13
