Consider the options A, B, C.
First 2 numbers are 1/3 and 2/5.
Multiply first with 5 and second with 3 then it becomes,
5/15 and 6/15:::: it is ascending order.
Hence option D is the correct answer.

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.

6/7=0.9
5/6=0.8
4/5=0.8
3/7=0.4

Just take LCM of all and the fraction having smallest numerator is the largest number of all mentioned.

1/6=..1616,1/3=.3333 etc and so on and similarly 5/6=5*.161616=0.8333 therfore just memorize 1/n ...till n=11....u can prdict the ANSWER DIRECTLY

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.

First we can understand problam by as 1/3 means 1 part form the 3 parts so it may some less value accound to other factor so the 1/3 will not come first fraction so 6/7 mean 6 parts so remaing is one part is '1' so it is highest value so the descending order is right.

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

The fraction with highest denominator value will have smaller decimal value, and descending implies smaller value towards higher one so.

Use LCM method to get same denominator and solve.
