B.

183

C.

181

D.

179

Correct option is C

Given:

0.02160.0\overline{216}​​

Solution:

Let x = 0.0216216216..

10x = 0.216216…

10000x = 216.216216..

10000x - 10x = 216

9990x = 216

x = 2169990 \frac{216}{9990}​​

=4185= \frac{4}{185}​​

Difference between numerator and denominator = 185 - 4 = 181
