Answer : 3. "0.375"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 0.375 Explanation: Expressing 3/8 as a decimal fraction: We can convert 3/8 into a decimal fraction by just dividing 3 by 8 or making 3 into 8 parts. Then, it is 3/8 = 0.375 as a decimal fraction.   Other Method:: 3/8 as a Decimal : In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple. Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125   => (3 x 125)/(8 x 125) = 375/1000 = 0.375.

Answer : 4. "10"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 10 Explanation: Let Rajeev's present age be  x years. Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years. Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years Then ATQ,  x + 15 = 5 (x - 5) x + 15 = 5x - 25 => x = 10   Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.

Answer : 3. "0.67"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 0.67 Explanation: To convert a fraction into decimal, just take the number on top which we called the numerator and divide it by the number at the bottom which we called the denominator. 2/3 How it comes : 2 ÷ 3 = 0 bring down the decimal point. 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 etc... This gives the recurring decimal 0.6666... If we round off to two decimals , then it becomes 0.67.   Hence, decimal fraction of 2/3 = 0.67.

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.   Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
