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)
_________________
(a/b)/c
which
= (a/b) * (1/c)
= a/(b*c)
thus b and c are denominator
hence the lowest possible value should have highest denominator, which is 3*5 and leaves numerator 2
which
= (a/b) * (1/c)
= a/(b*c)
thus b and c are denominator
hence the lowest possible value should have highest denominator, which is 3*5 and leaves numerator 2
It took more time to understand the expression than to find the answer.
put a,b,c as 2,3,5 respectively
we get a/bc = 2/15
OA B
we get a/bc = 2/15
OA B
