The correct option is A Figure A 3 parts are colored out of 8 parts. Hence a fraction of the shaded parts is 38
3 parts are colored out of 12 parts. Hence a fraction of the shaded parts is 312
Let's compare both the fractions:38and312
ConceptInvolved––––––––––––––––––––:
When fractions have the same numerator, then the largest fraction is the one with the smallest denominator.
Method–––––––––:
Order of Denominators: 8<12
Hence, order of fractions: 38>312
