    Which one of the following is a non-terminating and repeating decimal?

    A) \[\frac{13}{8}\]                         

    B) \[\frac{3}{16}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{11}\]             

    D) \[\frac{137}{25}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \]       \[\frac{13}{8}=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{125}{125}=\frac{1625}{1000}=1.625\] \[\frac{3}{16}=\frac{3\times 625}{16\times 625}=\frac{1875}{10000}=0.1875\] \[\frac{137}{25}=\frac{137\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{548}{100}=5.48\] From above it is clear that all of these are terminating and decimals Hence, \[\frac{3}{11}\] is a non-terminating and repeating decimal.
