Question

Which of the following option represents $\frac{1}{3}$ of the figure as coloured?

• A. a, b
• B. a, c
• C. b, c
• D. b, d

Answer 1

The correct option is B a, c

Fraction shaded in figure a is $\frac{1}{3}$.

By rearranging the shaded region, we can easily find the fraction representing the shaded region.

Fraction shaded in figure b is $\frac{1}{4}$.

By rearranging the shaded region, we can easily find the fraction representing the shaded region.
Fraction shaded in figure c is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Fraction shaded in figure d is $\frac{2}{7}$

Hence, a and c represent $\frac{1}{3}$ of the coloured figure.
