Detailed Solution

Given a rational number 3 8  .
Let the number that is to be added = a,
According to the question,
3 8 +a= 5 12 a= 5 12 + 3 8  
L.C.M of 12 and 8 = 96.
Now taking L.C.M of the denominator,
a= 5×8 + 12×3 8×12   a= 40+36 96 a= 76 96 a= 19 24  
The number is 19 24  .
Hence, option 2 is correct.
