  • Question

  • Options

  • B. 5/9, 8/15, 11/17, 7/11
  • C. 11/17 , 7/11, 8/15, 5/9

  • Correct Answer
  • 11/17, 7/11, 5/9, 8/15 

    Explanation

    Converting each of the given fractions into decimal form, we get

     5/9 = 0.55, 7/11 = 0.63,  8/15 = 0.533, 11/17 = 0.647

    Clearly, 0.647>0.63>0.55>0.533

    so , 11/17 > 7/11 > 5/9 > 8/15
