A. a
B. b
C. c
D. All equal
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & \,a = \left( {4 \div 3} \right) \div {\text{3}} \div {\text{4}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = }}\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{1}{9} \cr & b = 4 \div \left( {3 \div 3} \right) \div {\text{4}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 4}} \div 1 \div 4 \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = 1 \cr & c = 4 \div 3 \div \left( {3 \div 4} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = 4 \div 3 \div \frac{3}{4} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{4}{3} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{16}}{9} \cr & {\text{Clearly, c is the greatest}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$Related Questions on Simplification
