After adding 5 to both numerator and denominator of the following fractions, arrange them in ascending order of the magnitude of change in their values.
A. $$\frac{2}{3}$$
B. $$\frac{3}{4}$$
C. $$\frac{4}{5}$$
D. $$\frac{5}{6}$$
After adding 5 to numerator and denominator of all the fractions,
The fractions will be:
A=$$\dfrac{2+5}{3+5}=\dfrac{7}{8}$$
B=$$\dfrac{3+5}{4+5}=\dfrac{8}{9}$$
C= $$\dfrac{4+5}{5+5}=\dfrac{9}{10}$$
D= $$\dfrac{5+5}{6+5}=\dfrac{10}{11}$$
So, change in value of A = 7/8 - 2/3 = 5/24
change in value of B = 8/9 - 3/4 = 5/36
change in value of C = 9/10 - 4/5 = 5/50
change in value of D = 10/11 - 9/10 = 1/110 = 5/550
Clearly 550>50>36>24
So, 5/550<5/50<5/36<5/24
So, change in value of D<C<B<A
So, option C is the correct answer.
