(i) 43.123456789
Since it has a terminating decimal expansion, it is a rational number in the form of p/q and q has factors of 2 and 5 only.
(ii) 0.120120012000120000. . .
Since, it has non-terminating and non- repeating decimal expansion, it is an irrational number.
(iii) \(43.\overline{123456789}\)
Since it has non-terminating but repeating decimal expansion, it is a rational number in the form of p/q and q has factors other than 2 and 5.
