Solution

The correct option is D (i) and (iii) only
Let x=0.¯¯¯¯¯¯18 -----(1)

Multiply both sides of equation (1 ) by 100, we get
100 x = 18.¯¯¯¯¯¯18 ------(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

99 x = 18
Therefore,only step (i) and (iii) are correct in the conversion of recuring decimals to fractions.
