Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A fraction can be reduced to its lowest form by dividing the numerator and denominator with a common factor.
Statement II: Two fractions can be compared by comparing their numerators if their denominators are equal.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:नीचे दो कथन दिए गए हैं:
कथन I: किसी भिन्न को अंश और हर को एक उभयनिष्ठ गुणनखंड से विभाजित करके उसके निम्नतम रूप में लाया जा सकता है।
कथन II: यदि दो भिन्नों के हर समान हों, तो उनके अंशों की तुलना करके उन भिन्नों की तुलना की जा सकती है।

Correct answer: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.कथन I तथा कथन II दोनों सत्य हैं।
Explanation
Dividing numerator and denominator by a common factor does not change the value of the fraction and repeated division by common factors gives the lowest form (e.g. 12/18 ÷ 6 = 2/3), so Statement I is true. When denominators are equal, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger (e.g. 5/7 > 3/7), so Statement II is also true. Hence both statements are true.अंश और हर को उभयनिष्ठ गुणनखंड से विभाजित करने पर भिन्न का मान नहीं बदलता और बार-बार विभाजन करने पर निम्नतम रूप प्राप्त होता है (जैसे 12/18 ÷ 6 = 2/3), अतः कथन I सत्य है। जब हर समान हों, तो जिस भिन्न का अंश बड़ा होगा वह भिन्न बड़ी होगी (जैसे 5/7 > 3/7), अतः कथन II भी सत्य है। अतः दोनों कथन सत्य हैं।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
