Detailed Solution

The given fractions are,
21 25    and 18 20  
In order to subtract unlike fractions, they must be converted into equivalent like fractions.
The LCM of the denominator 25 and 20 is 100.
 So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with denominator 100.
Therefore the fractions become,
21 25 = 21×4 25×4 = 84 100   18 20 = 18×5 20×5 = 90 100  
Thus, we have
18 20 21 25 = 90 100 84 100 = 9084 100 = 6 100   The fraction can be reduced by dividing numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, we get
6 100 = 3 50  
18 20 21 25 = 3 50  
Thus the difference of 21 25   and 18 20   is 3 50 .  
Hence option (2) is correct.
