A) 1. 3, 2

B) 2, 1, 3

C) 2, 3, 1

D) 3, 1, 2

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

1) 36839/17 = 2167,Dividend contains 2 places of decimal So,3.68.39 / 17=21.67
2) 17050/62 = 275 ,Dividend contains 2 places of decimal So,170.50/62 = 2.75
3) 87565/83 = 1055,Dividend contains 2 places of decimal So,875.65/83 = 10.55
Since 21.67>10.55>2.75 ,the desired order is 1,3,2.
