Question

Subtract the sum of $\frac{5}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ from $\frac{44}{35}$

• A. $\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{7}$
• D. $\frac{2}{35}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{7}$

L.C.M. of 7 and 5 is 35.

So, $\frac{5}{7}$ + $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{25+14}{35}$ = $\frac{39}{35}$

Subtracting $\frac{39}{35}$ from $\frac{44}{35}$ , we get

$\frac{44}{35}$ - $\frac{39}{35}$ = $\frac{44-39}{35}$

= $\frac{5}{35}$

= $\frac{1}{7}$
