Question

Jack could not understand the difference between these two numbers.

• A. A is recurring decimal.
• B. B is recurring decimal.
• C. Both A and B are terminating decimal.
• D. Cannot say anything about the numbers.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

B is recurring decimal.

In the given question there are two numbers A and B,
A represents terminating decimal because the numbers after the decimal point are not repeated again and again but are terminated at 4.176.

The number B is recurring,i.e the decimal part will be repeated and the bar over the decimal part represents that the decimal will keep on repeating.
