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)
