Answer 1

Given:

Express 0. in the form , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Formula used:

Let x = 0.

Multiplying both sides by 100 to shift the decimal point two places to the right:

100x = 52.

Then, subtract the original equation from this new equation:

Calculations:

100x = 52.

x = 0.

⇒ 100x - x = 52. - 0.

⇒ 99x = 52

⇒ x =

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
