Decimal

by akshatgupta87 » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:01 am
What is the 1000th digit to the right of the decimal 2/110
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 5
E) 8

OA is B
But in my opinion the answer should be 8 as when you divide 2/110 the result is 0.01818...
The thousand digit is 8..
So what am I missing here???

Hi,
Don't you think every even digit is 1?
So, 1000th digit is 1.
Cheers!

looks like you have missed to consider 0 as decimal part starts as 018 in 0.018..

Hi,
I believe you are talking about thousandth place from the figure. But this question asks about 1000th digit to the right of decimal, just as we say 1st digit ,2nd digit to the right of decimal ...soon
Cheers!
