Answer 2

Concept-

In mathematics, if the pattern of numbers is in the decreasing value, then numbers are in descending order. It means that the number are arranged in the highest order to the lowest order.

Given-

There are certain fractions given in random order.

Find-

We need to find which of the following options are in descending order of their value.

Solution-

By converting each of the given fraction in the decimal form, we get,

1/3 = 0.33

2/5 = 0.4

3/7 = 0.42

4/5 = 0.8

5/6 = 0.83

6/7 = 0.85

Clearly, 0.85 > 0.83 > 0.8 > 0.42 > 0.4 > 0.33

So, 6/7 > 5/6 > 4/5 > 3/7 > 2/5 > 1/3

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
