Solution

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)
