Statement 1: 0.05 = 0.050 = 0.005 = 0.00500
Statement 2: Any number of zeros put at the end (i.e. on the right side) of a decimal number does not change its value.
Which of the following options is correct?
Both the statements are true.
Both the statements are false.
Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Answer
In Statement 1, 0.05 = 0.050 = 0.0500, but 0.005 = 0.00500, and 0.05 ≠ 0.005 (since 0.05 is five hundredths while 0.005 is five thousandths). So Statement 1 is false.
Statement 2 correctly states that adding zeros at the right end of a decimal number does not change its value, so Statement 2 is true.
∴ Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
