Solution:
A decimal is a number which represents the tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on using the decimal points.
The standard form of decimals are used to represent the large numbers into the smallest using the multiplication of the number with
10 to the power of places it is distanced from the decimal.

Q209. For a fixed base, if the exponent decreases by 1, the number becomes: 1 Mark
1. One-tenth of the previous number.
2. Ten times of the previous number.
3. Hundredth of the previous number.
4. Hundred times of the previous number.

Ans: 1. One-tenth of the previous number.

Solution:
For a fixed base, if the exponent decreases by 1, the number becomes one-tenth of the previous number.
e.g. For 105, exponent decreases by 1.
i.e. 105-1 = 104
10 4 1
∴ = 10
10 5
Note:
Option (a) is possibal only, if we taken base as 10.
