Question 1 (e) Add the following fractions using Brahmaguptaβs method: (e) 3/4+1/3+1/5 To find common denominator of these fractions We need to find LCM Common denominator = LCM of 4, 3, 5 = 2 Γ 2 Γ 3 Γ 5 = 60 Now, making denominator 60 of all these fractions π/π=π/π Γππ/ππ =ππ/ππ π/π=1/3 Γ20/20 =ππ/ππ π/π=1/5 Γ12/12 =ππ/ππ Our sum becomes 3/4+1/3+1/5 = 45/60+20/60+12/60 = (45 + 20 + 12)/60 = ππ/ππ
