Correct Answer: $\frac{17}{160}$


Solution : Given:
$\text{$\frac{5}{113}$, $\frac{7}{120}$, $\frac{13}{145}$, $\frac{17}{160}$}$
Find the approximate value.
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{113}\approx \frac{1}{22}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{7}{120}\approx \frac{1}{17}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{13}{145}\approx \frac{1}{11}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{17}{160}\approx \frac{1}{9}$
If all numerators of the fractions are the same and denominators are different, then the fraction with the least denominator is the largest.
So, here $\frac{1}{9}$ is the largest fraction.
Therefore,  $\frac{17}{160}$ is the largest.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{17}{160}$.
