Question

Given the following rational numbers, choose the ones that lie between 1 and 3

• A. $\frac{3}{2}$
• B. 2
• C. $\frac{7}{2}$
• D. $\frac{11}{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A $\frac{3}{2}$
B 2

Considering the given options:

We have, $\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{30}{20}$ = $\frac{15}{10}=1.5$

Similarly, $\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{70}{20}$ = $\frac{35}{10}=3.5$

and, $\frac{11}{2}$ = $\frac{110}{20}$ = $\frac{55}{10}=5.5$

We can clearly see that only 2 and $\frac{3}{2}$ lie between 1 and 3.
