GMAT OFFICIAL GUIDE PS

Solution:

To solve this question, we first have to use some long division. This long division allows us to get 6/11 in decimal form, which is 0.545454… where “54” is repeating.

We can see that the 1st, 3rd, 5th (and so on) digit to the right of the decimal point is a 5 and that the 2nd, 4th, 6th (and so on) digit to the right of the decimal point is a 4. In other words, each odd-positioned digit is a 5, and each even-positioned digit is a 4.

Because we are being asked about the 25th digit to the right of the decimal point and we see that 25 is odd, we know that the 25th digit is a 5.

Answer: C
