Question

Among the following options, which one does not lie in
the given range: 1/6 < X < 17/12
(a) 2/7
(b) 1/2
(C) 4/3
(d) 13/11
(e) 20/13

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Option(a) is correct

Reason:

Lets first check whether it is greater than 1/6 or not.

Take LCM of 6,7 = 42

1/6 = 7/42

2/7 = 12/42

Hence we can say 1/6<2/7

We can directl y say that 2/7 is less tan 17/12 as numerator of 2/7 is less than its denominator while numerator for 17/12 is grater than denominator.

Hope it helps:)
