Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

$7\frac{3}{7}$

The combination of a whole number and a proper fraction is called a mixed fraction.
Here,
$3\frac{2}{3}=3+\frac{2}{3}$ ; where 3 is a whole number and $\frac{2}{3}$ is a proper fraction.
$7\frac{3}{7}=7+\frac{3}{7}$ ; where 7 is a whole number and $\frac{3}{7}$ is a proper fraction.

$3\frac{2}{3}$ and $7\frac{3}{7}$ are combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.
So, $3\frac{2}{3}$ and $7\frac{3}{7}$ are mixed fractions.
