Solution

The correct option is A 2524

The given fractions 38 and 23 are not like fractions as they are not having the same denominator.

To convert the given fractions into like fractions, let's find the LCM of the denominators of 38 and 23 i.e. LCM of 8 and 3.

28, 324, 322, 331, 31, 1

LCM of 8 and 3 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24

Now, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with denominator 24.

So, 38=3×38×3=924 and 23=2×83×8=1624

38+23=924+1624=2524
