Check carefully the digits 3456 repeats in cycle...

Thus the no of 4 digit cycles in 777th decimal is 777/4 = 194 cycles and 1 extra digit ( which is 3 )

Thus, Answer must be (A)

Look for a pattern... 
1st decimal digit: 3
2nd decimal digit: 4
3rd decimal digit: 5
 4th decimal digit: 6 
5th decimal digit: 3
6th decimal digit: 4
7th decimal digit: 5
 8th decimal digit: 6 
9th decimal digit: 3
...etc

This pattern repeats itself every  4  digits
In other words, the pattern has a  cycle of  4

So, we can see that the  4 th digit is 6, the  8 th digit is 6, the  12 th digit is 6, etc
In other words, for every term that is a  multiple of 4 , the digit will be 6

Now let's find the multiple of 4 that's closest to 777
Well, 776 is a multiple of 4, so the 776th digit must be 6
This means the next digit, the 777th digit, must be 3

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent

hasnain3047 · Answer

As there are 4 repeating digits in decimal so we devide 777 by 4
We get 1 remainder so in four repeating digits (3,4,5,6) first digit (3) is the answer.

The digits of 0.345634563456…. repeat with period 4. 
Since the 1st, 5th, 9th, … decimal digits are 3, the n-th decimal digit is 3 if n has a remainder of 1 when it is divided by 4.
Since the 2nd, 6th, 10th, … decimal digits are 4, the n-th decimal digit is 4 if n has a remainder of 2 when it is divided by 4.
Since the 3rd, 7th, 11th, … decimal digits are 5, the n-th decimal digit is 5 if n has a remainder of 3 when it is divided by 4.
Since the 4th, 8th, 12th, … decimal digits are 6, the n-th decimal digit is 6 if n is a multiple of 4.
Since 777 has a remainder of 1 when it is divided by 4, the 777th decimal digit is 3.
Therefore, the answer is A.

JeffTargetTestPrep · Answer

The pattern is 3, 4, 5, 6. The decimal repeats every 4 digits. We see that the digit 6 is the 4th, the 8th, the 16th, etc. digit in the pattern. Thus, the digit 6 always occupies the position of a digit that is a multiple of 4. Since 776 is a multiple of 4, then the 776th digit will be a 6 and the 777th digit will be a 3.

Answer: A
