ExplanationWe are asked to arrange the given fractions in descending order based on their value. To compare the fractions, we will convert them to a common denominator or use approximate decimal values. Here's the analysis of each option:
- Option A - 1/3, 2/5, 3/7, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7:
- Converting the fractions to decimal form:
- 1/3 = 0.3333
- 2/5 = 0.4
- 3/7 ? 0.4286
- 4/5 = 0.8
- 5/6 ? 0.8333
- 6/7 ? 0.8571
- The order of fractions in descending order is: 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3.
- This matches Option D.
- Option B - 1/3, 2/5, 3/5, 4/7, 5/6, 6/7:
- Converting to decimal values as shown previously:
- 1/3 = 0.3333
- 2/5 = 0.4
- 3/5 = 0.6
- 4/7 ? 0.5714
- 5/6 ? 0.8333
- 6/7 ? 0.8571
- The order of fractions in descending order is: 6/7, 5/6, 3/5, 4/7, 2/5, 1/3.
- This order does not match Option B.
- Option C - 1/3, 2/5, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7, 6/7:
- Converting to decimal values:
- 1/3 = 0.3333
- 2/5 = 0.4
- 3/5 = 0.6
- 4/6 ? 0.6667
- 5/7 ? 0.7143
- 6/7 ? 0.8571
- The order of fractions in descending order is: 6/7, 5/7, 4/6, 3/5, 2/5, 1/3.
- This order does not match Option C.
- Option D - 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3:
- Converting to decimal values as shown previously:
- 6/7 ? 0.8571
- 5/6 ? 0.8333
- 4/5 = 0.8
- 3/7 ? 0.4286
- 2/5 = 0.4
- 1/3 = 0.3333
- The order of fractions in descending order is: 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3.
- This matches Option D perfectly.
- Final Answer:
- The correct answer is D. 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3.

Correct Answer: 6.48 x 10-4
Explanation:
4 x 162 = 648. Sum of decimal places = 6.
So, 0.04 x 0.0162 = 0.000648 = 6.48 x 10 -4
So, 0.04 x 0.0162 = 0.000648 = 6.48 x 10 -4
Correct Answer:
| 4 |
| 5 |
Explanation:
| 3 | = 0.75, | 5 | = 0.833, | 1 | = 0.5, | 2 | = 0.66, | 4 | = 0.8, | 9 | = 0.9. |
| 4 | 6 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 10 |
Clearly, 0.8 lies between 0.75 and 0.833.
| ∴ | 4 | lies between | 3 | and | 5 | . |

Correct Answer: 2011
Explanation:
Suppose commodity X will cost 40 paise more than Y after z years.
Then, (4.20 + 0.40z) - (6.30 + 0.15z) = 0.40
⟹ 0.25z = 0.40 + 2.10
| ⟹ z = | 2.50 | = | 250 | = 10. |
| 0.25 | 25 |
∴ X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 i.e., 2011.
