A) 3 B) 2
C) 1 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0

Let assume the value of a,b &c that will satisfy the equation.
so a=1,b=1,c= -1 or a=1,b= -1 &c=1 or a= -1,b=1,c=1
here all three cases satisfy the equation
assume any one a=1,b=1,c= -1

Hence (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)=(1+1)(1-1)(-1+1) = 0

Q:

2/3 as a decimal

A) 0.47 B) 6.77
C) 0.67 D) 0.07
 
Answer & 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 :

÷ 0 bring down the decimal point.

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 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.
