  1. $\dfrac{4}{5}$

  2. $\dfrac{5}{9}$

  3. Both are equal

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

5/4 , 5/9
Difference of cross product = 45 - 20 = 25
If the difference of the cross product is positive then the first fraction is larger.
hence 5/4 is larger.

vedic methods of multiplication history of mathematics maths

  1. $\dfrac{2}{3}$

  2. $\dfrac{5}{8}$

  3. Both are equal

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

2/3, 5/8
Difference of cross product = 16 - 15 = 1

So, 2/3 is larger fraction.

Identify the larger fraction between $\dfrac{7}{12}, \dfrac{9}{20}$ using Vedic mathematics.

vedic methods of multiplication history of mathematics maths

  1. $\dfrac{7}{12}$

  2. $\dfrac{9}{20}$

  3. Both are equal

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

7/12, 9/20

Difference of cross product = 140 - 108 = 32

If the difference of the cross product is positive then the first fraction is larger.
So, 7/12 is larger fraction.
