SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Both 2997 and 1998

For \(A=0.\overline{abc}\), the standard conversion gives \(A=\dfrac{abc}{999}\). The multiplier must be a multiple of 999 to clear the denominator for every choice of \(abc\).

Among the options: \(1998=2\times 999\) and \(2997=3\times 999\); 1000 is not a multiple of 999. Hence both 2997 and 1998 work.
