Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.17

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the binomial theorem, \((1 + x)^{n} = 1 + nx + \dfrac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2 + \dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3 + \dots\) Here, \(x = 0.02\) and \(n = 8\). \((1 + 0.02)^8 = 1 + 8(0.02) + \dfrac{8 \times 7}{2}(0.02)^2 + \dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6}{6}(0.02)^3 + \dots\) Calculating the…
