A.

2437/9990

B.

2413/9900

C.

2413/9999

D.

2437/9999

Correct option is B

Given:

The repeating decimal is 0.24370.24\overline{37}  which means that the digits  37  repeat indefinitely.

Concept Used:

To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, we represent the decimal as a sum of a non-repeating part and a repeating part.

Solution:

Let x=0.2437x = 0.24\overline{37}​​

Multiply both sides by 100 (to shift the decimal point two places to the right):

100x=24.37100x = 24.\overline{37}​​

Now, multiply both sides by 10000 (to shift the decimal point four places to the right so the repeating part aligns):

10000x=2437.3710000x = 2437.\overline{37} ​​

Subtract the first equation from the second:

10000x100x=2437.3724.3710000x - 100x = 2437.\overline{37} - 24.\overline{37}​​

9900x = 2413

x = 24139900\frac{2413}{9900}​​

Thus, 0.2437=241399000.24\overline{37} = \frac{2413}{9900}​.
