    D.

    8312\frac{83}{12}

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    8.27272... (a repeating decimal where "27" repeats indefinitely)

    Solution:

    Let x = 8.272727...

    To eliminate the repeating decimal, multiply the equation by 100 (since the repeating part has 2 digits):

    100x = 827.272727...

    Now subtract the original equation from this one:

    100x - x = 827.272727... - 8.272727...
    99x = 819
    x =81999 \frac{819}{99}​​

    x =819÷999÷9=9111 \frac{819 \div 9}{99 \div 9} = \frac{91}{11}​​

    So, the fraction equivalent to 8.272727... is  9111.\frac{91}{11}.​​
