Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ are equivalent fractions
(A) $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2}$
(B) $\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour $= \frac{1}{2} \times 60$ minutes = $30$ minutes
(C) $\frac{5}{6} = 0.8333, \frac{6}{5} = 1.2$
$∴ \frac{5}{6} \neq \frac{6}{5}$
(D) $\frac{1}{100}$ of $1$ cm = $\frac{1}{100} \times 10$ mm = $\frac{1}{10}$ mm.
Hence the correct answer is option A.
