(ii) (11/9) and (5/9)
(iii) (37/41) and (19/30)
(iv) (17/15) and (119/105)
Solution:
(i) Given (7/9) and (8/13)
Taking LCM for 9 and 13 we get,
9 × 13 = 117
Now we convert the given fractions into its equivalent fractions, then it becomes
(7 × 13)/ (9 × 13) and (8 × 9)/ (13 × 9)
Therefore (91/117) > (72/117)
Hence (7/9) > (8/13)
(ii) Given (11/9) and (5/9)
As the denominator is equal, they form equivalent fractions.
But we know that 11 > 5
Hence (11/9) > (5/9)
(iii) Given (37/41) and (19/30)
Taking LCM for 41 and 30 we get,
30 × 41 = 1230
Now we convert the given fractions into its equivalent fractions, then it becomes
(37 × 30)/ (41 × 30) and (19 × 41)/ (30 × 41)
Therefore (1110/1230) > (779/1230)
Hence (37/41) > (19/30)
(iv) Given (17/15) and (119/105)
Taking LCM for 15 and 105 we get, 5 × 3 × 7 = 105

| (3/11) | (5/11) | (7/11) |
| (8/11) | (1/11) | (6/11) |
Solution:
Along first column = (4/11) + (3/11) + (8/11) = (15/11)
Along second column = (9/11) + (5/11) + (7/11) = (15/11)
Along third column = (2/11) + (7/11) + (6/11) = (15/11)
Along first row = (4/11) + (9/11) + (2/11) = (15/11)
Along second row = (3/11) + (5/11) + (7/11) = (15/11)
Along third row = (8/11) + (1/11) + (6/11) = (15/11)
Along diagonal = (4/11) + (5/11) + (6/11) = (15/11)
= (2/11) + (5/11) + (8/11) = (15/11)
Therefore sum along all direction is same i.e. (15/11). Hence it is a magical square
