x and y are expressed as decimals. When (x+y) is rounded to the hundredth place, it is equal to x.

(1) x
(2)0.007

A) (1) is bigger
b) (2) is bigger
c) (1) and (2) are equal
d) Relationship can't be determined

I don't seem to understand how to go about cracking this question.

Thanks

Ok . I would go with option D .
Cause they have just mentioned dat x and y are decimals.
We do not know whether they are positv negative . Either which way let us take a few cases .

Case 1 :
If x = 0.007 and y = 0.0001
-》 x + y = 0.0071
X + y rounded to the hundredth placs it gives 0.007 which is x
Hence x = 0.007
You can choose option (C)

Case 2 :
X = 0.006 and y = 0.0001
X+y = 0.0061
Rounded off gives 0.006 which is = x
Hence you could choose option (B)

With jus two cases we get varying answers.

So we need more info to know what precise values of x and y are we allowed to take .

Hence d qns would be option (D)

Hope dis helped.

Kudos plz if it did :D
