Convert \( \frac{8}{9} \) into a decimal number.
To convert a fraction into a decimal number, we perform division. The numerator is divided by the denominator. If the division results in a repeating pattern, we denote it using an ellipsis (...).
Set up the long division:
\[ \begin{array}{r} 0.\text{888...} \\ 9 \overline{\) 8.000} \\ -7 \text{ 2} \\ \hline 80 \\ -7 \text{ 2} \\ \hline 80 \\ -7 \text{ 2} \\ \hline 8 \end{array} \]
First step of division: 8 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 8. We add a decimal point and a zero to 8, making it 8.0.
Second step of division: Now, we divide 80 by 9. \( 9 \times 8 = 72 \). So, we write 8 after the decimal point. The remainder is \( 80 - 72 = 8 \).
Third step of division: Bring down another zero, making it 80 again. Divide 80 by 9, which again gives 8 with a remainder of 8.
Identify the pattern: This pattern of getting 8 as the quotient and 8 as the remainder will repeat indefinitely. Therefore, the decimal representation of \( \frac{8}{9} \) is 0.888...
B) 0.888... is the correct decimal representation of \( \frac{8}{9} \), as the digit 8 repeats infinitely after the decimal point.
The question asks to identify the person who first conceived the idea of the Indian National Army (INA). This requires knowledge of the historical origins and key figures involved in the formation of the INA during World War II.

To find the width of the rectangle, we will use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. The perimeter is given, and the length is known, allowing us to solve for the unknown width.
The perimeter \(P\) of a rectangle with length \(L\) and width \(W\) is given by:
\[ P = 2(L + W) \]We are given:
Substitute these values into the perimeter formula:
\[ 100 = 2(29 + W) \]First, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
\[ \frac{100}{2} = 29 + W \]\[ 50 = 29 + W \]B) 21 m — The calculation shows that the width of the rectangle is 21 m.
The question asks to identify the community for which the President of India had the power to nominate two members to the Lok Sabha, a provision that was later abolished. This requires knowledge of specific constitutional provisions related to parliamentary representation.
C) Anglo-Indian: Article 331 of the Indian Constitution empowered the President to nominate up to two members from the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha if he felt they were not adequately represented.
