$\frac{2}{315}$

$\frac{1}{315}$

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

LCM of fraction = \(\frac{LCM\;of\;numerator}{HCF\; of\;denominator}\)

The given fractions are :  $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{7}$, and $\frac{4}{9}$

LCM of 2, 3, 4 = 12

HCF of 5, 7, 9 = 1

The LCM of $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{7}$, and $\frac{4}{9}$ is = \(\frac{12}{1}\) = 12
