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

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).
1/3 = 0.3333 and 2/5 = 0.4 which is in ascending order.
Hence answer is Option(D).

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

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.

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.
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.

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

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

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