    D.

    4799\frac{47}{99}​​

    Correct option is D

    ​​Given:

    The repeating decimal number is given as 0.474747...

    Formula Used:

    To convert a repeating decimal into a fraction, we use the following approach:
    1. Represent the repeating decimal as x.
    2. Multiply x by an appropriate power of 10 to shift the repeating part.
    3. Subtract the original equation from the shifted equation to eliminate the repeating part.
    4. Solve for x to find the fractional equivalent.

    Solution:

    Let x = 0.474747...
    Since the repeating part is '47', multiply x by 100:
    100x = 47.474747...  

    100x = 47+ 0.474774...

    100x = 47 + x 

    99x = 47 

    x = 4799\frac{47}{99}​​
    Now, subtract the original equation from this equation:
    Thus, the fraction equivalent to 0.474747...is 47990.474747... is\ \frac{47}{99} ​​
