Statement-2 (Reason): If the denominator of a rational number is of the form 2m × 5n, where m, n are not-negative integers, then its decimal representation is terminating.
Answer:
Statement-1 (Assertion): The decimal representation of is terminating.
Now,
Therefore, the decimal representation of is terminating after 3 decimal places. Thus, Statement-1 is true.
Statement-2 (Reason): If the denominator of a rational number is of the form 2m × 5n, where m, n are not-negative integers, then its decimal representation is terminating.
This statement is true as the denominator of an irrational number cannot be expressed as 2m × 5n, where m, n are not-negative integers.
Thus, Statement-2 is true and is the correct explanation for Statement-1.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
