Correct answer: B

To determine on which day the pizza boy delivered the most pizzas, compare the fractions of pizzas delivered each day: 2/5, 3/4, and 9/16.

Step 1: Find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common denominator of 5, 4, and 16 is 80.

Step 2: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with denominator 80.

2/5 = (2 × 16)/(5 × 16) = 32/80

3/4 = (3 × 20)/(4 × 20) = 60/80

9/16 = (9 × 5)/(16 × 5) = 45/80

Step 3: Compare the numerators: 32, 60, and 45. The largest numerator is 60, which corresponds to 3/4.

Therefore, the pizza boy delivered the most pizzas on Day 2.

हिन्दी उत्तर:

पिज़्ज़ा बॉय द्वारा प्रत्येक दिन वितरित पिज़्ज़ा के भागों की तुलना करने के लिए: 2/5, 3/4 और 9/16।

चरण 1: भिन्नों के लिए एक सामान्य हर ज्ञात करें। 5, 4 और 16 का लघुत्तम सामान्य भाजक 80 है।

चरण 2: प्रत्येक भिन्न को 80 के हर के साथ एक समतुल्य भिन्न में बदलें।

2/5 = (2 × 16)/(5 × 16) = 32/80

3/4 = (3 × 20)/(4 × 20) = 60/80

9/16 = (9 × 5)/(16 × 5) = 45/80

चरण 3: अंशों की तुलना करें: 32, 60 और 45। सबसे बड़ा अंश 60 है, जो 3/4 के संगत है।

इसलिए, पिज़्ज़ा बॉय ने दिन 2 को सबसे अधिक पिज़्ज़ा वितरित किया।
