Answer

Let x = 0.250.\overline{25}

x = 0.252525…..      ………(1)

Multiplying both side by 100, we get

100x = 25.252525…     ………(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get :

⇒ 100x - x = 25.252525….. - 0.252525……

⇒ 99x = 25

⇒ x = 2599\dfrac{25}{99}.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
