Detailed Solution

Given fractions are 1 12 , 1 23 , 1 7 , 1 9 , 1 17   and 1 50  .
Since we know that, for unlike fraction the denominator has different values and numerator has the same value. So, given fractions are unlike fractions.        For unlike fractions, the fraction having the smaller denominator will have greater value.
So, the descending order is, 1 7 > 1 9 > 1 12 > 1 17 > 1 23 > 1 50  .
Therefore, option (1) is correct.
