Question

Assertion: 1242/49 is a non terminating repeating decimal.

Reason: The rational number p/q is a terminating decimal is q = 2^m × 5^n for some whole numbers m and n.


(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is

the correct explanation of assertion.

(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is

not the correct explanation of assertion.

(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) Assertion is false but reason is true.​

Answer 1

Answer:

proof:

Step-by-step explanation:

1242/49

1242/7^2

In order for a number to be terminating, the denominator should be in the form of 5^n x 2^m

Since the denominator in 1242/49 is not in the form of 5^n x 2^m, 1242/49 is nob terminating and repeating
