Question

Ravi had 7 out of a dozen bananas and Raju had 13 out of a Score. So, Ravi had more bananas as compared to Raju. ( 1 Score = 20 )

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

We have to first express the quantities they had as Rational numbers before we compare.

Ravi had $\frac{7}{12}$ bananas and Raju had $\frac{13}{20}$ bananas.

We have to convert the denominator to the LCM of 12 and 20 which is 60

$\therefore$ Ravi had $\frac{7\times 5}{12\times 5}$ = $\frac{35}{60}$ bananas

and , Raju had $\frac{13\times 3}{20\times 3}$ = $\frac{39}{60}$ bananas

Since $\frac{39}{60}$ > $\frac{35}{60}$ , Raju had more number of bananas compared to Ravi.

Hence, the given statement is false.
