    Explanation

    We 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:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. Final Answer:
      • The correct answer is D. 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3.
