Numerator must be more than denominator to be higher value. From all of these options, D has numerator slightly somewhat higher than A, B C, so D is answer.

I think these fractions can be compared by cross multiplication method or by making all the denominators the same like using lcm as a multiplication factor.

Convert all into like fractions by taking their lCM, their LCM comes out to be 210 and then convert them according to their LCM and then we get the answer.

For the first 3 options, check the first two numbers.
1/3 = 0.3333 and 2/5 = 0.4 which is in ascending order.
Hence answer is Option(D) by elimination

First of divide the number by their respective denominator and then arrange the fractions in respective ascending and descending whatever is asked.

@Umesh.
Your trick is not applicable for all types of questions.
It will work only when difference between the given numerator is equal.

Just divide and see the first and last numbers we will get as. 333 for 1/3, . 857 for 6/7. So, from this we can judge the answer easily.
