Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.125

The Chess board is divided into 64 squares which represnt 1 whole part.

Bishop has covered 8 squares of this chess board

Fraction of the chess board covered $=\frac{8}{64}=\frac{1\times 8}{8\times 64}=\frac{1}{8}$$\therefore \frac{1}{8}=0.125$

Fraction of the chess board covered $=0.125$
