Answer 1

The correct option is C

25.43

The decimal point is the point that distinguishes the whole number and the fractional part.
We know that tens and ones place value represents the whole number and the one-tenth and one-hundredth represent the fractional part.
Hence, decimal will be placed after 25 and before 4.

$\therefore$ The answer is 25.43
