Option 1: $\frac{1}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{6}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{7}$

Question : Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE? I. $\frac{2}{3\sqrt5}<\frac{3}{2\sqrt5}<\frac{5}{4\sqrt3}$ II. $\frac{3}{2\sqrt5}<\frac{2}{3\sqrt3}<\frac{7}{4\sqrt5}$
Option 1: Only I
Option 2: Only II
Option 3: Both I and II
Option 4: Neither I nor II
Correct Answer: Only I
Solution : Let's simplify the fractions in each statement to see if they are true: I. $\frac{2}{3\sqrt5}<\frac{3}{2\sqrt5}<\frac{5}{4\sqrt3}$ Rationalising each fraction, we get: $\frac{2\sqrt5}{15}<\frac{3\sqrt5}{10}<\frac{5\sqrt3}{12}$ Converting these fractions to decimal form, we get: 0.29 < 0.47 < 0.72, where $\sqrt5$ = 2.236 and $\sqrt3$ = 1.732 So, Statement
