So as the fraction to take the least possible value, we want the denominator to take the maximum possible value and the numerator the minimum possible value. So, denominator=c=5 and numerator a/b=2/3=>(a/b)/c=(2/3)/5=2/15=>Right Answer:B

The higher the denominator , the lower the value of the fraction....

Plug in c = 5 , b = 3 and a = 2 and check (other options as well)....

Answer must be (B)
