Question
If 14.287628762876........ can be represented in pq form, then 'p - q ' is ________.
Answer: Option A
:
A
Let 'x' = 14.287628762876 -------(i)
then 10000x = 142876.287628762876 --------(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get
10000x - x =142876.287628762876 -14.287628762876
9999x = 142862
then 'x' = 1428629999
p = 142862, q = 9999
So, p-q = 132863
