Two trains cover parts of a journey. The Howrah train covers 11/15 of its route and the Chennai train covers 7/9 of its route. Which train has covered the greater fraction?

Question

Accepted Answer

Chennai (7/9). LCM of 15 and 9 = 45. 11/15 = 33/45, 7/9 = 35/45. Since 35 > 33, the Chennai train has covered more.
