A Correct answer
Explanation

$ \displaystyle \left | x \right | =\left | \frac{-3}{5} \right |  $ and  $ \displaystyle \left | y \right | =\left | \frac{4}{-7} \right |  $ 

Since $|x|=|-x|$, therefore $|x|\times |y|=\dfrac{3}{5}\times \dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{12}{35}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

To multiply mixed fractions we convert them into improper fractions.

In the question, 1 whole 1/3× 3 whole 1/4 ×7/8
(3×1+1)/3×(4×3+1)/4×7/8
=4/3×13/4×7/8
=2/3×13/4×7/4
=1/3×13/2×7/4
=91/24
=3 whole 19/24
So, option C is the correct answer.
