Question

Which of the following rational numbers lies between $\frac{3}{2}$ and $4$ ?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $3$
• C. $\frac{8}{2}$
• D. $\frac{9}{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$3$

We have to find a rational number between $\frac{3}{2}$ and $4$. The L.C.M. of the denominators of both numbers is $2$.
$\therefore \frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$ and $4\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{2}$.
$\therefore$ From the above given options, only $\frac{6}{2}$
i.e. $=3$ lies between $\frac{3}{2}$ and $4$.
