• A. $0.46\overline{5}$
• B. $0.4\overline{65}$
• C. $0.\overline{465}$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$0.4\overline{65}$

$\Rightarrow$ $0.\overline{23}$ means $\mathrm{0.232323....}$

and $0.2\overline{3}$ means $\mathrm{0.233333...}$

$\Rightarrow$ $0.\overline{23}+0.2\overline{3}=0.23232323+0.23333333$

$=0.4656565$

$=0.4\overline{65}$
