A.

2(11/60)

B.

2(1/60)

C.

1(11/60)

D.

1(1/60)

Correct Answer: 1(11/60)

Explanation

3(1/2) - (2(1/3) * 1(1/4)) + 3/5 = 7/2 - (7/3 * 5/4) + 3/5 = 7/2 - 35/12 + 3/5 = L.C.M = 60 = (210 - 175 + 36)/60 = 71/60 = 1(11/60)

3(1/2) - (2(1/3) * 1(1/4)) + 3/5 = 7/2 - (7/3 * 5/4) + 3/5 = 7/2 - 35/12 + 3/5 = L.C.M = 60 = (210 - 175 + 36)/60 = 71/60 = 1(11/60)
