Question 56
Which fraction among $$\frac{3}{11}, \frac{4}{7}$$ and $$\frac{5}{8}$$ is the smallest?
Solution
Fractions = $$\frac{3}{11}, \frac{4}{7}$$ and $$\frac{5}{8}$$
L.C.M. of denominators (11,7,8) = 616
Now, taking L.C.M. of all fractions, we get :
$$\equiv\frac{168}{616},\frac{352}{616},\frac{385}{616}$$
=> Smallest fraction = $$\frac{168}{616}\equiv\frac{3}{11}$$
=> Ans - (A)
