Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{25}$


Solution : $(1-\frac{1}{5})(1-\frac{1}{6})(1-\frac{1}{7}).......(1-\frac{1}{100})$
= $(\frac{4}{5})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{6}{7}).......(\frac{99}{100})$
Notice that the denominator of the first term cancels the numerator of the second term.
So, $(\frac{4}{5})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{6}{7}).......(\frac{99}{100})$ = $\frac{4}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{25}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{25}$.
