  • Question
  • The smallest fraction which should be subtracted from the sum of 1 3/ 4, 2 1/ 2, 5 7/ 12, 3 1/ 3 and 2 1/ 4 to make the result a whole number is?


  • Options
  • A. 5/12
  • B. 7/12
  • C. 1/2
  • D. 7

  • Correct Answer
  • 5/12 

    Explanation

    ? 7/4 + 5/2 + 67/12 + 10 + 9/4 = (21 + 30 + 67 + 40 + 27/12) = 185/12

    This is nearly greater than 15. Let required fraction be x.
    Then, 185/12 - x = 15
    ? x = (185/12) - 15
    = 5/12
