  1. The greatest possible quotient of two distinct members of the set is 25.

    What is the Quotient?

    A quotient is defined as the outcome of dividing an integer by any divisor that can be said to be a quotient. The dividend contains the divisor a specific number of times.
    We are given the set of numbers as :
    2/5, 1/2, 5, 10
    We must choose p as the biggest number from the set and q as the smallest number from the set in order to the greatest possible quotient .
    Comparing the fractions we determine :
    ⇒ 2/5 = 0.4,
    ⇒ 1/2 = 0.5
    So, the smallest number is 2/5
    Select p = 10, q = 2/5
    To determine the quotient.
    So, p/q = 10/(2/5)
    ⇒ p/q = 10×5/2
    ⇒ p/q = 50/2
    p/q = 25
    Hence, the greatest possible quotient is 25 in the set.
