Answer 2

Option d is the correct answer. 11/4 is greater than 2.25 but less than 3.

Given:

4 options: a. 1 and 2, b. 2 and 5/2, c. 5/4 and 11/4, d. 11/4 and 3

To Find:

in which of the given pairs is 2.25 larger than the first number but smaller than the second number

Solution:

let us evaluate each option:

a. 2.25 is greater than 1 and 2 both

b. 5/2 = 2.5

but 2 is not larger than 2.25

c. 5/4 = 1.2

clearly, 1.2 is not larger than 2.25

d. 11/4 = 2.75

2.75 is greater than 2.25 and less than 3

Thus, option d is the correct answer. 11/4 is greater than 2.25 but less than 3.
