               (a)  \frac{1}{8}< \frac{3}{8}< \frac{5}{8}

                       \frac{5}{8}>\frac{3}{8}> \frac{1}{8}

             (b)  \frac{1}{5}< \frac{3}{5}< \frac{4}{5}< \frac{7}{5}< \frac{11}{5}

                   \frac{11}{5}> \frac{7}{5}> \frac{4}{5}> \frac{3}{5}> \frac{1}{5}

            (c)  \frac{1}{7}< \frac{3}{7}< \frac{7}{7}< \frac{11}{7}< \frac{13}{7}

               \frac{13}{7}> \frac{11}{7}> \frac{7}{7}> \frac{3}{7}> \frac{1}{7}

In option A, you will look at the numerators, 1, 5 and 3.. Among these, 1 is the smallest, 3 is greater than 1 and 5 is greatest. So in ascendng order, going from smaller to bigger term, the answer will be 1/8<3/8<5/8 and descending order will be 5/8<3/8<1/8.

In option B, again, the denominator is same,i.e.,5, so you will again look at the numerators, so the ascending order will be 1/5<3/5<4/5<7/5<11/5 and descending order will be 11/5>7/5>4/5>3/5>1/5.

In option C, the denominator is 7 in all the terms, but 7/7 is equals to 1, which is the highest term so you will again look at the numerators, so the ascending order will be 1/7<3/7<11/7<13/7<1 and the descending order will be 1>13/7>11/7>3/7>1/7
