MCQ
The decimal representation of a rational number cannot be
- Aterminating
- Bnon-terminating
- Cnon-terminating repeating
- ✓non-terminating non-repeating
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
non-terminating non-repeating
(d)
The decimal representation of rational number $\frac{2}{5}$ is 0.4, which is terminating. So, option (a) is not true. The decimal representation of $\frac{2}{3}$ is 0.66666... which is non-terminating repeating. So, option (b) and (c) are not true.
A rational number can not have non-terminating non-repeating decimal representation.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
