m = \(\frac{9}{25}\) > which is around \(\frac{1}{3}\)
w = \(\frac{15}{32}\) > which is around \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Together m & w would constitute around \(\frac{5}{6}\), so the remaining c would be around \(\frac{1}{6}\) which is far less than m & w
Increasing order: c, m w
Answer = A
Bunuel, Kindly update the OA

Ans e wmc
w = 15/32 ~0.4
m = 9/24 = 0.36
c = 1 - (w + m) ~ 0.24
so w m c
in descending order another
ascending: c m w..

Yes, decimals work faster than common denominators here. E would be correct if the question asked for DESCENDING order.

m = 9/25 = 0.36
w = 15/32 = 0.4
On substituting C = 0.24
c , m , w

One can solve this one using 2 methods.
Method 1
- See the way PAresh did it. I've solved this the same when saw this problem in the test.
Mehod 2
\(\frac{9}{25} = \frac{54}{150}\) and \(\frac{15}{32} = \frac{75}{150}\), so \(1-\frac{54}{150}-\frac{75}{150}\), so it's evident that c<m<w
Answer A

That made the problem look so easy

m = 9/25 = 0.36
w = 15/32 = 0.4
On substituting C = 0.24
c , m , w on increasing order .

Hi,
Since we are going to use a lot of percent to decimal to fraction conversion, best is to convert in to % and compare.
Well lets see how the fractions fair in terms of "%"
so "m"= \(\frac{9}{25}\) is 36%.
w= \(\frac{15}{32}\)< \(\frac{15}{30}\)
\(\frac{1}{30}\) is close to 3.33%
\(\frac{15}{32}\) is 46%
so c =100-(36+46)= 18%
19<36<45
c<m<w
