Question and options

Two statements are given:

Statement I : The sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime factorization of 392 is 5.

Statement II : The decimal representation 1323×5\frac{13}{2^3 \times 5} will terminate after 2 decimal places.

In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the given options:
  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Statement I is true but Statement II is false
392 = 2^3 x 7^2, so the exponents sum to 5 (I true). 13/(2^3 x 5) = 13/40 = 0.325, which terminates after 3 decimal places, not 2 (II false).
