If we write \(0.\overline{4}\) in p/q  from the value of p + q is ……………….. A) 14 B) – 9 C) 10 D) 13

Answer»

Correct option is (D) 13

Let x = \(0.\bar{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) x = 0.444...           ______(1)

Multiply equation (1) by 10, we obtain

10x = 4.444...          ______(2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2), we get

10x - x = 4.444... - 0.444...

\(\Rightarrow\) 9x = 4

\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac49\)\(\frac{p}{q}\)

Then p = 4 & q = 9

\(\Rightarrow\) p+q = 4+9 = 13.

Correct option is  D) 13
