Correct Answer: Only I
Solution :
Statement I. $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4}$
Consider L.H.S,
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}$
$=\frac{6+2+1}{12}$
$=\frac{9}{12}=\frac{3}{4}=$ R.H.S
⇒ Statement I is correct.
Statement II. $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{3}{5}$
Consider L.H.S,
$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}$
$=\frac{10+5+3}{60}$
$=\frac{18}{60}=\frac{3}{10}\neq$ R.H.S
⇒ Statement II is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Only I'.
