C maybe ?

(1) the decimal will be in the form ( 1/(5^n)*q) - thus, the denominator is a multiple of five. But we don't know anything about q. Insufficient.

(2) The denominator is a multiple of 3. But we don't have anything about p. BUT:

Read in MGMAT FDPs that "when you express terminating decimals as fractions in lowest levels. they only have 2's and/or 5's as a prime factors in their denominators.

So the denominator cannot be expressed as only 2's and 5's.
Thus, 2 must be sufficient. B. ??
What is the OA.

P.s. i edited my post, the first one was definitely wrong as i chose A.

IMO - C

Assuming n = 0, the value of the expression is 1 i.e. there is no finite decimal sequence

Assuming n > 0, the value of the expression will again not have any finite decimal sequence

Assuming n < 0, the value of the expression will not have any decimal sequence

Yes I meant no zero's at all, anything to the power of zero would yield a value of 1 and 1/1 will give an integer value.

In theory it should be, unless there is a GMAT reason for it not to be the same :-)

Also, question for you: why would you get 1.000 when you divide 1 / 1?
