Question

Which of following is not an improper fraction?

• A. $\frac{999}{1000}$
• B. $\frac{1001}{1000}$
• C. $\frac{1002}{1000}$
• D. $\frac{10000}{1000}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{999}{1000}$

The fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator is called a improper fraction. 1 is also a improper fraction.

$\frac{999}{1000}:\text{Numerator < Denominator.}$
Hence, it is not an improper fraction.

$\frac{1001}{1000}:\text{Numerator > Denominator.}$
Hence, it is an improper fraction.

$\frac{1002}{1000}\text{Numerator > Denominator.}$
Hence, it is an improper fraction.

$\frac{10000}{1000}:\text{Numerator > Denominator.}$
Hence, it is an improper fraction.

Option (a) is correct.
