1. Answer:

   Solution:-

   If the denominator of a rational number is of the form 2

   n

   5

   m

   , then it will terminate after n places, if n>m or m places, if m>n.

   The given rational number is

   2

   4

   5

   3

   43

   ​

   As the denominator is of the form 2

   n

   5

   m

   , where as n(=4)>m(=3)

   Hence, the given rational number will terminate after n places, i.e., 4 places.

   Hence, the correct answer is 4.
