Solution

The correct option is B False
Converting the given ratios into fractions we get, $\frac{8}{15}; \frac{11}{20}$
LCM of $15, 20 = 60$
Converting the fractions in like fractions with denominator $60$ , we get
$\frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 4}{15 \times 4} = \frac{32}{60}$

$\frac{11}{20} = \frac{11 \times 3}{20 \times 3} = \frac{33}{60}$
Comparing these fractions, $\frac{33}{60} > \frac{32}{60}$
Hence, $11 : 20 > 8 : 15$
