Answer 2

Given:

The sequence of digits "0625".

To find:

From the given options which number cannot be obtained.

Solution:

1) To find the required answer we will do it by solving the options.

2) The decimal expressions for

• 6/25 is 0.24

• 5/8 is 0.625

• 1/16 is 6.25

• 25/4 is 6.25

• 25² is 625

hence the decimal expression of 6/25 is 0.24 which is not meeting the requirement of the condition.

So 6/25 cannot make the required sequence.
