Question

Which of the following options correctly denotes 2 out of 5 shaded parts.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

To represent 2 out of 5, we need two portions shaded out of 5 equal parts.

Here there are 5 equal parts and 2 of them are shaded.
In this option, the parts are of unequal size and there are a total of 6 parts and we need only 5. So this option is wrong.
In this option, 2 out of 5 parts are shaded but the parts are not of equal size. Hence this option is wrong.
Here, 3 out of 5 parts are shaded but we need only 2 parts to be shaded.
Therefore option A is the correct option.
