thinkvision, Mohammadmo ,
Actually the confusion is because the question has not been formatted properly.
The question should look like \(\frac{1 - \frac{1}{2}}{3}\), Number 3 is below the whole expression and not just under 1/2.
Now the answer can be easily deduced. \(\frac{\frac {1}{2}}{3}\)

Ans- D
Dear SajjadAhmad or Moderator Please can we format the question properly to prevent confusion. Thank you.

Multiplying by 2/2, we have:
