The product of two fractions is (2526) and their quotient is (1332), find the larger fraction?
The correct option is B: (1513)
Let the two fractions be (ab) and (cd)
(ab)×(cd)=(2526)………(i) [Product =2526 ]
(ab÷ cd)=(1332) [Quotient =1332]
(ab×dc)=(1332)………(ii)
Multiplying eq.(i) and (ii) we get
ab×cd×ab×dc=(2526)(1332)
(ab)2=(2564)
(ab)=+(56) or −(56)
Since, (ab) is a fraction therefore, (ab)=56
Substituting the above value in (i) we get
+(56)×(cd)=(2526)
(cd)=(2526)×(65)
(cd)=+(1513)
Now, we have to compare (56) and (1513) to find the bigger fraction.
+(5×136×13)=6578
+(15×613×6)=9078
9078>6578
so, (1513)>(56)
So the larger of the two is (1513)
