Hi
Please when a QCQ question is posted follow the way to format it. It is quite easy here
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/how-to-po ... tml#p31620
Just put the two quantities inside the tag [quantity]
Put it in simple terms: When you are going to create a new Quantitative Comparison Question you only need two set up the two quantities to push the tag button.
Insert your values INSIDE the parenthesis

Solution:
Quantity A:
We have \(\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^9}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^5\times 2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^5}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^5}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^5}\times 0.0625\)
\(⇒0.000...625\) (0 as a digit doesn't matter because we are talking about sum here)
Quantity B:
We have \(\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^{10}}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^6\times 2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^6}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^6}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^6}\times 0.0625\)
\(⇒0.000...625\) (0 as a digit doesn't matter because we are talking about sum here)
We see that we have the same non-zero digits in both \(\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^9}\) and \(\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^{10}}\)
Hence the right answer is Option C
Quantity A:
We have \(\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^9}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^5\times 2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^5}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^5}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^5}\times 0.0625\)
\(⇒0.000...625\) (0 as a digit doesn't matter because we are talking about sum here)
Quantity B:
We have \(\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^{10}}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^6\times 2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^6}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^6}\times \frac{1}{2^4}\)
\(⇒\frac{1}{10^6}\times 0.0625\)
\(⇒0.000...625\) (0 as a digit doesn't matter because we are talking about sum here)
We see that we have the same non-zero digits in both \(\frac{1}{5^5\times 2^9}\) and \(\frac{1}{5^6\times 2^{10}}\)
