    1. \begin{aligned} \frac{11}{32} \end{aligned}
    2. \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{28} \end{aligned}
    3. \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{30} \end{aligned}
    4. \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{32} \end{aligned}
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option D

    Explanation:

    Numerators of the fractions in the given sequence are getting increased by 2, i.e. 1+2,3+2,5+2, so next will be 7+2 = 9

    Denominators of the fractions in the series is getting doubled, 2*2 = 4, 4*2 = 8, 8*2 = 16, no next will be 16*2 = 32

    So resulting fraction will be
    \begin{aligned}
    \frac{9}{32}
    \end{aligned}
