Question

You are given the sequence of digits "0625", and can insert a decimal point at the beginning, at the end, or at any of the other three positions. Which of these numbers can you not make? 6/25 5/8 1/16 25/4 25 squared

Answer 1

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 to check whether they are as per the condition of the question or not.

2) The decimal expressions of the options are given by:

• 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 question.

So 6/25 cannot make the required sequence.
