a) \large\frac{1}{15}
b) \large\frac{4}{15}
c) \large\frac{3}{15}
d) \large\frac{2}{15}
correct answer is: b) \large\frac{4}{15}
Explanation
Here, two fractions LCM and HCF is \large\frac{4}{5} and \large\frac{2}{15}
And One fraction is \large\frac{2}{5}
Let, the other fraction is ‘x’
We know,
Product of two numbers = Their LCM \times Their HCF
So that,
\large\frac{2}{5}\times x=\large\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{2}{15}
\rightarrow\large\frac{2x}{5}=\large\frac{8}{75}
\rightarrow 150x=40
\rightarrow x=\large\frac{40}{150}
Or, \large\frac{4}{15}
\therefore The other fraction is \large\frac{4}{15}
Ans: The other fraction is \large\frac{4}{15}.
