Question

If there are $n$ zeros after the decimal point, then the characteristic of that number will be

• A. $n+1$
• B. $-n+1$
• C. $-(n+1)$
• D. $n-1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $-(n+1)$

For number less than $1,$ if there are $n$ zeroes after the decimal point, then the characteristics of that number will be $-(n+1).$

and For number greater than $1,$ if there are $n$ number of zeroes are on the left sides of the digits then characteristics will be $(n+1).$

Hence, C is the correct option.
