            <description>Is it difficult to answer? 1−−−0.999…

[Is 1=0.999...?]

This is a simple and common question asked to students, who have passed higher secondary school certificate. Most of the student unable to give the correct answer. Well, we cannot predict the exact reason but one simple reason seems to be a lack of logical reasoning. For example, if we wish to round off $0.999...$$x=0.999...$$10x=9.99...$$10x=9+0.999...$$10x=9+x$$9x=9$$x=1$</description>
