Correct Answer: $–\frac{7}{8}, –\frac{2}{9}, \frac{5}{12}, \frac{4}{3}$
Solution :
$\frac{4}{3}, -\frac{2}{9}, -\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{12}$
LCM of (3, 9, 8 and 12) = 72
Multiply 72 with each fraction,
We get 96, –16, –63, 30
In ascending order (– 63 < – 16 < 30 < 96)
⇒ $-\frac{7}{8}, -\frac{2}{9}, \frac{5}{12}, \frac{4}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $–\frac{7}{8}, –\frac{2}{9}, \frac{5}{12}, \frac{4}{3}$.
