Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (A)
`7(1)/(24).`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to perform the following indicated operation :

`E=1(2)/(3)+5(3)/(8)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We will be using the following rule :

`a(b)/(c)=(ac+b)/(c).`

From (i), we get

`E\\\\=1(2)/(3)+5(3)/(8)\\\\\\=(5)/(3)+(43)/(8)\\\\\\=(40+129)/(24)\\\\\\=(169)/(24)\\\\\\=7(1)/(24).`

Thus, the required answer is
`7(1)/(24).`

Option (A) is CORRECT.
