Question

Arrange the following in increasing order:
(A) 16\(\frac{2}{3}\)%
(B) \(\frac{2}{15}\)
(C) 0.17
(D) 0.25% of 64
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. B < D < A < C
• B. A < D < B < C
• C. C < D < B < A
• D. A < C < D < B

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The approximate numerical values are:

\( A = 16 \frac{2}{3} \% = 16.6667\% = 0.166667 \), \( B = \frac{2}{15} \approx 0.1333 \), \( C = \mathbf{0.17} \), \( D = 0.25\% \text{ of } 64 = 0.25 \times \frac{64}{100} = 0.16 \).

Therefore, the ascending order is \( B < D < A < C \).
