59,83,75,35,19.\frac{5}{9}, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{9}​.

A.

19,59,35,75,83\frac 19 , \frac59, \frac35, \frac75, \frac83

B.

59,75,35,19,83\frac59, \frac75, \frac35, \frac19, \frac83​​

C.

19,59,75,35,83\frac19, \frac59, \frac75, \frac35, \frac83​​

D.

83,75,35,59,19\frac83, \frac75, \frac35, \frac59, \frac19​​

Correct option is A

Given:
The fractions to be arranged are
59,83,75,35,19.\frac{5}{9}, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{9}​.​​
Concept Used:
To arrange fractions in ascending order, we need to compare their values by converting them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator or by converting them to decimals.
Solution:
Making denominator same for all fraction;
LCM of 9, 3, 5, 9 = 45
Now, 59=2545,83=12045,75=6345,35=2745,19=545,\frac{5}{9} = \frac{25}{45},\quad\frac{8}{3} = \frac{120}{45},\quad\frac{7}{5} = \frac{63}{45},\quad\frac{3}{5} = \frac{27}{45},\quad \frac{1}{9} = \frac{5}{45},​​
Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:

19,59,35,75,83\frac{1}{9}, \frac{5}{9}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{8}{3}​​

Alternate Method:
Convert the fractions to decimals:
59=0.555,83=2.666,75=1.4,35=0.6,19=0.111\frac{5}{9} = 0.555, \quad \frac{8}{3} = 2.666, \quad \frac{7}{5} = 1.4, \quad \frac{3}{5} = 0.6, \quad \frac{1}{9} = 0.111​​
Now, arrange the decimal values in ascending order:
0.111, 0.555, 0.6, 1.4, 2.6660.
Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:
19,59,35,75,83\frac{1}{9}, \frac{5}{9}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{8}{3}​​
