Answer

A. O.8743874374387438743....

Step by step explanation

Let's take a = O.8743874374387438743....

10a = 8.743874374387438743....

Similiarly,

10000a = 8743.874374387438743....

Since four decimal places are repeating.

Now subtract a from 10000a

10000 a - a = 8743.874374387438743.... - O.8743874374387438743....

9999 a = 8743

a = 8743/9999

8743/9999 = O.8743874374387438743....

That's it.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.
