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

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.

6/7 = 0.857.
5/6 = 0.833.
4/5 = 0.8.
3/7 = 0.42.
2/5 = 0.4.
1/3 = 0.333.
Then the option "D" is correct.

If the numerator is increasing by a constant number the smaller the numerator the smaller the fraction.

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

Amit_inder said:   1 decade ago
By taking the LCM of denominator ie 3, 5, 6, 7 in this way we get the right series of descending.
