A: √0.81 =0.9 not >0.9 not possible

B. correct by poe

C. 0.9*0.9<0.9 not possible as given that x>0.9

D. 0.9*0.99<0.9 not possible as given that x>0.9

E. 1-&#8730;0.01=1-0.1=0.9 not possible as x>0.9

hence, B

The answer must be B

Bcoz sqrt of a fraction number is always greater than the fraction number.

We are given that x > 0.9 and need to determine a value for x.

We may recall that when we take the square root of a decimal that is between 0 and 1, the result is larger than the original number inside the root. Thus, since √0.9 > 0.9, we know that √0.9 could be x.

Answer: B
