Question

There are four cakes of each 5 slices. Aman takes 2 slices from first cake, Bhargav takes 3 slices from the second cake, Charan takes 4 slices from the third cake and Daman takes only 1 slice from the fourth cake. Who has taken the largest fraction of cake among the four?

• A. Aman
• B. Bhargav
• C. Charan
• D. Daman

Answer 1

The correct option is C Charan

The fraction taken by Aman is 2 slices out of 5 slices.
Hence, Aman's fraction = $\frac{2}{5}$

The fraction taken by Bhargav is 3 slices out of 5 slices.
Hence, Bhargav's fraction = $\frac{3}{5}$

The fraction taken by Charan is 4 slices out of 5 slices.
Hence, Charan's fraction = $\frac{4}{5}$

The fraction taken by Daman is 1 slices out of 5 slices.
Hence, Daman's fraction = $\frac{1}{5}$

Thus, the fractions are $\frac{2}{5}$, $\frac{3}{5}$, $\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$.
Since, all the denominators are same, we should compare the numerator. The larger the numerator, the larger the fraction.

Here, the largest numerator is 4. So, the largest fraction is $\frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, Charan took the largest fraction of cake.
