Given,
The number is 15 1600  .
As we know,
If the denominator has factors of  2 and 5, then it has terminating decimal expansion.
Factorizing the denominator, we get,
1600= 2 6 × 5 2  
Since, the denominator is in the form of 2 m × 5 n  .  Thus, the 15 1600   has a terminating decimal expansion.
Thus, the above statement is true.
Therefore, option(1)     is correct answer.
