Answer: The answer is
(d)~(1)/(3)/ 4.


Step-by-step explanation: Given in the question and the figure a large rectangle consisting of 12 squares of equal areas. We need to choose the right expression for the purple shaded area.

Considering the rectangle in the figure horizontally, there are 4 rows of 3 squares. So, in the last row, the fraction of purple shaded square is


r_p=(1)/(3).

And if consider the figure vertically, then there are 3 columns of 4 squares.

Therefore, the final fraction represented by the purple shaded area is


f_p=(1)/(3)/4.

Thus, the correct option is
(d)~(1)/(3)/ 4.
