1. $\frac{3}{7}$

2. $\frac{5}{8}$

3. $\frac{989}{89}$

4. $\frac{814}{788}$

5. $\frac{14}{65}$

• A. 1, 2 and 4
• B. 1, 2 and 5
• C. 2, 3 and 4
• D. 2, 3 and 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1, 2 and 4

A proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
In 1, the numerator (3) is lesser than the denominator (7).
In 2, the numerator (5) is lesser than the denominator (8).
In 5, the numerator (14) is lesser than the denominator (65).
Only 1, 2 and 5 satisfy this condition.
Hence, 1, 2 and 5 are proper fractions.
