AHSME 1952 Problem 42

    Let DD represent a repeating decimal. If PP denotes the rr figures of DD which do not repeat themselves, and QQ denotes the ss figures of DD which do repeat themselves, then the incorrect expression is: (A) D=.PQQQ…(B) 10rD=P.QQQ…(C) 10r+sD=PQ.QQQ…(D) 10r(10s−1)D=Q(P−1)(E) 10r⋅102sD=PQQ.QQQ…\text{(A) } D = .PQQQ\ldots \\ \text{(B) } 10^rD = P.QQQ\ldots \\ \text{(C) } 10^{r + s}D = PQ.QQQ\ldots \\ \text{(D) } 10^r(10^s - 1)D = Q(P - 1) \\ \text{(E) } 10^r\cdot10^{2s}D = PQQ.QQQ\ldots
