Question

Which of the following lies between 2 and 3?

(a) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

(b) \(\frac{6}{2}\)

(c) \(\frac{6}{3}\)

(d) \(\frac{12}{3}\)

This question was posed to me during an interview.

I need to ask this question from Properties of Rational Numbers topic in portion Rational Numbers of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Explanation: The correct answer to the question is \(\frac{5}{2}\), since it is the only number that lies between 2 and 3. While the others don’t lie in the given range.

Options \(\frac{6}{2}\) and \(\frac{6}{3}\) are not correct because the question states “between” and not “equal to”.
