Q1 of 24 Page 61

A number having non-terminating and recurring decimal expansion is –

By definition, a rational number is one which follows either of the following 2 conditions:

1. It can be expressed in form where p and q are integers (q 0).


2. Its decimal expansion is either terminating or non-terminating recurring.


Ex. – 0.35 (terminating decimal expansion) Rational number


0.7777…. = (non-terminating but recurring i.e. the number does not terminate but its digits follow a pattern.) Rational number


π = 3.14…… (Non-terminating non recurring) Irrational number


Hence, the answer.
