Solution

The correct option is B

False


The product of two proper fractions is less than either of the fractions, as it would mean taking a fraction of the other part, which would always be less than the whole.
For eg, 23×45=815
Here, 815<23 as 815<1015 (multiplying the numerator and denominator of 23 by 5)
Also, 815<45 as 815<1215 (multiplying the numerator and denominator of 45 by 3)
