  • A 1.5
  • B \(\frac{5}{2}\)
  • C \(\frac{96}{48}\)
  • D 0.5
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Numerator: 96 →37.5% of 96 = 36
Decreased by 36→ 96 - 36
New numerator = 60

Denominator: 50→ 20% of 50 = 10
Decreased by 10→ 50 - 10 = 40
NewDenominator = 40

New fraction = \(\frac{60}{40}\) or 1.5
