Correct Answer: $\frac{43}{60}$
Solution : Given: $2\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{1}{3} + 4\frac{1}{4} +5\frac{1}{5}$ To make this expression a whole number, add fractions: $ = (\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{5})$ $ = \frac{(30+20+15+12)}{60}$ $ = \frac{77}{60}$ $ = 1 +\frac{17}{60}$ The smallest fraction to be added = $1 -\frac{17}{60} =\frac{43}{60}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{43}{60}$.
