If 0.1¯¯¯¯¯¯34=pq where p and q are integers and q≠0, then pq= ___
133990
Let x=0.1¯¯¯¯¯¯34=0.13434... ....(i)
Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get 10x=1.343434... ---- (ii)
Multiplying by 1000 on both sides of (i), we get 1000x=134.343434.... ---- (iii)
Subtracting (ii) from (iii), we get
990x=133
⇒x=133990
