Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : XY Given : X and Y are natural numbers other than 1, and Y is greater than X Calculations : 1 < X < Y Let X be 2 and Y be 3 (X and Y are natural numbers) Now put value in each option to get the values Option(1) ⇒ XY = 2 × 3 = 6 Option(2) ⇒ X/Y = 2/3 Option(3) ⇒ Y/X = 3/2 Option(4) ⇒ (X + Y)XY = 5/6 We can see that option 1 represents the largest value among all ∴ Option1 will be the correct choice.
