Find out the decimal fraction of each sum and then you can easily determine the largest and the smallest digit and find out the answer.

By taking the LCM of denominator ie 3, 5, 6, 7 in this way we get the right series of descending.

First take the LCM of the denominators and the LCM is 210. Which is taken to common denominator do the numerators equal to 210 by multiplying the required numbers. By comparing we get the answers.

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.

Yes good right answer.

Find the LCM of denominators. Then we get 210. Multiply it with current value (eg: 210*1/3 = 70) and find all values. Then you can find which one is the correct answer. Here the answer is option D.

Converting each of given fractions into decimal form Ex: 6/7=0.85, 5/6=0.83 and so on That is the trick.
Second Method find out HCF of denominator and LCM of numerator.

Tell me about the trick in this problem.
I know to multiply with hcf in the denominator and finding decending order but I think their is trick for it.
Please tell me the trick.

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 take LCM of denominators.
Here it s 210.
Then multiply with multiplier that makes denominators 210.
By doing this.
First becomes 70/210, 84/210 and soon.
Hence ans D.
