Option A

56 and 34

Solution :

The correct answer is 56 and 34.

To find the largest and second largest fractions among the given set, let us convert each fraction into its decimal form or compare them using a common denominator.

Given fractions:

56, 34, 12, 23, 35

Step 1: Convert each fraction into decimal form.

56=0.8333...

34=0.75

12=0.50

23=0.6666...

35=0.60

Step 2: Compare the values in descending order.

0.8333...>0.75>0.6666...>0.60>0.50

Arranging the corresponding fractions from largest to smallest gives:

56>34>23>35>12

Therefore, the largest fraction is 56 and the second largest fraction is 34.
