Detailed Solution

Given fractions are

23, 56, 79

and

1118

.
We know that,
In the case of like fractions, the fraction with a greater numerator will be greater.
In the case of unlike-fractions, the fraction with a smaller denominator will be greater.
Taking LCM and making the denominators same,

23 × 66 = 1218 56 × 33 = 1518 79 × 22 = 1418 1118 × 11 = 1118

So, in this question, the fraction with a greater numerator will be greater.
Thus,

1118 < 1218 < 1418 < 1518

.
So, the ascending order is,

1118 < 23 < 79 < 56

.
Hence, option (3) is correct.
