Which of the following is correct$?$
  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}<\frac{3}{5}<\frac{11}{5}$
  • $\frac{3}{5}<\frac{2}{3}<\frac{11}{15}$
  • C
    $\frac{11}{15}<\frac{3}{5}<\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{5}<\frac{11}{15}<\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{3}{5}<\frac{2}{3}<\frac{11}{15}$
Consider the fractions $\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{11}{15}$
$LCM$ of $3, 5$ and $15 = 15$
Firstly, convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with denominator $15$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times5}{3\times5}=\frac{10}{15}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times3}{5\times3}=\frac{9}{15}$
Now,
$9<10<11$
$\therefore\ \frac{9}{15}<\frac{10}{15}<\frac{11}{15}$
$\frac{3}{5}<\frac{2}{3}<\frac{11}{15}$

MCQ 81 Mark
Which of the following statements is true$?$
  • A
    $\frac{7}{12}<\frac{4}{21}$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{12}=\frac{4}{21}$
  • $\frac{7}{12}>\frac{4}{21}$
  • D
    $\text{None of these.}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{7}{12}>\frac{4}{21}$

Consider the fractions $\frac{7}{12}$ and $\frac{4}{21}$
Prime factorisation of $12 = 2 \times 2 \times 3$
Prime factorisation of $21 = 3 \times 7$
$\therefore LCM$ of $12$ and $21 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7 = 84$
Firstly, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with denominator 84
$\Rightarrow\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7\times7}{12\times7}=\frac{49}{84}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21}=\frac{4\times4}{21\times4}=\frac{16}{84}$
Now,
$49>16$
$\therefore\ \frac{49}{84}>\frac{16}{84}$
$\frac{7}{12}>\frac{4}{21}$

$0.02 \times 0.05 =$
  • A
    $0.1$
  • B
    $0.01$
  • $0.001$
  • D
    $0.0001$
Answer

If $24.125=24+\frac{\text{A}}{10}+\frac{\text{B}}{100}+\frac{\text{C}}{1000},$ then $A + B + C =$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $13$
  • $8$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8$

$=24.125$
$=24+0.125$
$=24+0.1+0.02+0.005$
$=24+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{2}{100}+\frac{5}{1000}$
Comparing this the given expression, we get
$\text{A}=1,\text{B}=2$ and $\text{C}=5$
$\therefore\ \text{A}+\text{B}+\text{C}=1+2+5$
