Answer:

Option c) \frac{10}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an unknown number, and we are asked to find out that number, we may form an equation to find that number, and put a variable in place of that number.

In this case,

Let the unknown number be x

 \frac{2}{17}  + x +  \frac{7}{17}  = 1 \frac{2}{17}

  \frac{2}{17}  +  \frac{7}{17}  + x = 1 \frac{2}{17}

 \frac{9}{17}  + x =  1\frac{2}{17}

Always remember, that when we change the side of an equation, the operation representing that number change into its opposite operation.

+ → -

- → +

× → ÷

÷ → ×

x = 1 \frac{2}{17}  -  \frac{9}{17}

Since, here a fraction is in mixed state, we will convert it to improper fraction

x =  \frac{17 \times 1 + 2}{17}  -  \frac{9}{17}

x =  \frac{19}{17}  -  \frac{9}{17}

x =  \frac{10}{17}

Therefore, the number which satisfies the above situation is 10/17

Hence, Option c is correct.
