Detailed Solution

We have to find which of the following rational numbers 16225, 518, 221 and 7250 have a terminating decimal.
Let pq can be a rational number.
Then, prime factorisation of q is of the form 2m×5n where m and n are non negative integers.
Let us consider 16225.
Here, q=225.
225 can be written as 32×52.
 It has a terminating decimal.
Let us now consider 518.
Here, q=18.
18 can be written as 2×32.
 It does not have a terminating decimal.
Now let us consider 221.
Here, q=21.
21 can be written as 3×7.
 It does not have a terminating decimal.
Let us now consider 7250.
Here, q=250.
250 can be written as 21×53.
 It has a terminating decimal.
Therefore, the rational numbers 16225 and 7250 has a terminating decimal.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
