Assertion : 29/9261 will have a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. Reason : Let a = p/q be a rational number such that p and q are co-prime and the prime factorisation of q is of the form 2^(n)xx5^(m) where n and m are non-negative integers (whole numbers). Then a has a decimal expansion, which is non-terminating repeating.
