Question 41.

(0.333...) x (0.444...) = ?

  1.    0.121212….
  2.    0.777…..
  3.    1.111...
  4.    0.148148148….

Answer: Option D. -> 0.148148148….
In order to solve this question, we first need to understand the concept of repeating decimals. Repeating decimals are decimals that have a pattern in their digits that repeats itself infinitely. The pattern repeats itself after a certain number of digits. The repeating sequence of digits is sometimes referred to as the repeating block.

For example, in the decimal 0.444..., the repeating sequence is 444 and the repeating block is 4.

Now, to solve this question, we need to multiply the two repeating decimals. The key to multiplying repeating decimals is to multiply the repeating blocks first, then multiply the non-repeating digits.

0.333... x 0.444...
= (3 x 4) x (0.00... x 0.00...)
= 12 x 0.00...
= 0.148148148....

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D 0.148148148….

Explanation with relevant definitions and formulas:

Repeating Decimal: A decimal with a pattern of digits that repeats itself infinitely is known as a repeating decimal.

Multiplying Repeating Decimals: The key to multiplying repeating decimals is to multiply the repeating blocks first, then multiply the non-repeating digits.

Formula:
0.333... x 0.444...
= (3 x 4) x (0.00... x 0.00...)
= 12 x 0.00...
= 0.148148148....

Answer: Option B. -> \(\frac{5}{12}\)
Question 43.

  1. The sum of three fractions is \(2\frac{11}{24}\) . When the largest fraction is divided by the smallest, the fraction obtained is \(\frac{7}{6}\)   which is\(\frac{1}{3}\)  more than the middle one. The f
  1.    \(\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{9},\frac{2}{3}\)
  2.    \(\frac{7}{8},\frac{5}{6},\frac{3}{4}\)
  3.    \(\frac{3}{8},\frac{4}{5},\frac{3}{4}\)
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> \(\frac{7}{8},\frac{5}{6},\frac{3}{4}\)
Question 44.

Evaluate : \(\frac{(2.39)^{2}-(1.61)^{2}}{2.39-1.61}\)

  1.    2
  2.    4
  3.    6
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4

Given Expression = \(\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a-b}=\frac{(a+b)(a-b)}{a-b}=(a+b)=(2.39+1.61)=4\)

Question 45.

What decimal of an hour is a second ?

  1.    .0025
  2.    .0256
  3.    .00027
  4.    .000126
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> .00027

Required decimal = \(\frac{1}{60\times60}=\frac{1}{3600}=.00027\)

Question 46.

The value of \(\frac{(0.96)^{3}-(0.1)^{3}}{(0.96)^{2}+0.096+(0.1)^{2}} . is:
\)

  1.    0.86
  2.    0.95
  3.    0.97
  4.    1.06
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0.86

Given expression =  \(\frac{(0.96)^{3}-(0.1)^{3}}{(0.96)^{2}+(0.96\times0.1)+(0.1)^{2}}\)


= \(= \left(\frac{a^{3}-b^{3}}{a^{2}+ab+b^{2}}\right)\)


= (a - b)


= (0.96 - 0.1)


= 0.86

Question 47.

The value of  \(\frac{0.1\times0.1\times0.1+0.02\times0.02\times0.02}{0.2\times0.2\times0.2+0.04\times0.04\times0.04} \)

  1.    0.0125
  2.    0.125
  3.    0.25
  4.    0.5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.125

Given expression = \(\frac{(0.1)^{3}+(0.02)^{3}}{2^{3}[(0.1)^{3}+(0.02)^{3}]}=\frac{1}{8}= 0.125\)

Question 48.

If 2994 ÷ 14.5 = 172, then 29.94 ÷ 1.45 = ?

  1.    0.172
  2.    1.72
  3.    17.2
  4.    172
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 17.2

\(\frac{29.94}{1.45}=\frac{299.4}{14.5}\)


=   \(\left(\frac{2994}{14.5}\times\frac{1}{10}\right)\)   [ Here, Substitute 172 in the place of 2994/14.5 ]


= \(\frac{172}{10}\)


=17.2

Question 49.

When 0.232323..... is converted into a fraction, then the result is:

  1.    \(\frac{1}{5}\)

  3.    \(\frac{23}{99}\)
  4.    \(\frac{23}{100}\)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> \(\frac{23}{99}\)

0.232323... = 0.23 = \(\frac{23}{99}\)

Question 50.
