Correct Answer :

Option B

0.03̄

Solution :

The correct option is 0.03̄.

Given the expressions for x and y:

x=198×550

y=993×3633

Step 1: Simplify x

Factorize the numbers inside the square root:

198=2×99=2×9×11=2×32×11

550=2×275=2×25×11=2×52×11

Now, multiply these factorizations:

198×550=(2×32×11)×(2×52×11)=22×32×52×112

Taking the square root:

x=22×32×52×112=2×3×5×11=330

Step 2: Simplify y

Combine the cube roots:

y=99×3633

Factorize the numbers:

99=9×11=32×11

363=3×121=3×112

Multiply the factorizations:

99×363=(32×11)×(3×112)=33×113

Taking the cube root:

y=33×1133=3×11=33

Step 3: Calculate 1x+1y

Substitute the values of x=330 and y=33:

1x+1y=1330+133

Find a common denominator:

1330+10330=11330=130

Convert 130 to a decimal representation:

130=0.0333...=0.03̄

Hence, 1x+1y is equal to 0.03̄.
