Option C

11/13 < 15/17 < 13/14

Solution :

The correct answer is 11/13 < 15/17 < 13/14.

To compare the three given fractions, let us convert each fraction into its decimal form or evaluate their values step-by-step:

Given fractions:

a=1113

b=1314

c=1517

Now, let us calculate the approximate decimal value of each fraction:

1. Value of a=1113:

11÷130.84615

2. Value of b=1314:

13÷140.92857

3. Value of c=1517:

15÷170.88235

Comparing the decimal values:

0.84615<0.88235<0.92857

Substituting the corresponding fractions back:

1113<1517<1314

Therefore, the correct inequality statement is 11/13 < 15/17 < 13/14.
