    The rational number which can be expressed as a terminating decimal number will be

    A) \[\frac{77}{210}\]

    B) \[\frac{129}{{{2}^{2}}\times {{5}^{7}}\times {{7}^{5}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{13}{3125}\]

    D) \[\frac{8}{17}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [a] Here denominator \[=210=2\times 3\times 5\times 7\] which is not the form of \[{{2}^{n}}\,{{5}^{m}}\]  so it is not terminating.
    [b] Here denominator \[={{2}^{2}}\times {{5}^{7}}\times {{7}^{5}}\] which is not the form of \[{{2}^{n}}\,{{5}^{m}}\] so it is not terminating.
    [c] Here denominator \[=3125={{5}^{5}}\]which is the form of \[{{2}^{n}}\,{{5}^{m}}\] so it is terminating. Hence option [c] is correct.
