Answer: Let total land be x.
Land for roads and parks= 2/5x
Land for community hall= 3/8x
Let land for apartment= y
⇒ x-(2/5x+3/8x)= y
X-(16x+15x/40)
X-31x/40
40x-31x/40= y
9/40x= y
Land reserved for apartment= 9/40x
NOW TO FIND THE LARGEST PIECE OF LAND:
LCM of denominators= 40
2/5x:
2×8/5×8
= 16/40x
3/8x:
3×5/8×5
=15/40x
9/40x
= 9/40x
16/40x> 15/40x> 9/40x
2/5x> 3/8x> 9/40x
So, the land reserved for building roads and parks(2/5x) is the largest piece of land.
