Question

Find the suitable value of A so that:
$\frac{3}{4}>\frac{3}{A}$

• A. A = 1
• B. A = 3
• C. A = 5
• D. A = 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C A = 5

We know that for fractions with a common numerator but different denominators, the fraction with a lower denominator is the one greater in value.

By putting value of A = 1, we get,
$\frac{3}{4}<\frac{3}{1}$
By putting value of A = 3, we get,
$\frac{3}{4}<\frac{3}{3}$
By putting value of A = 2, we get,
$\frac{3}{4}<\frac{3}{2}$

Only by putting value of A = 5, we get,
$\frac{3}{4}>\frac{3}{5}$

∴ The required value of A = 5.
