Answer 2

5 and 6

Explanation:

We need to find that between what two numbers the fraction
`(26)/(5)` lies.

In order to know from the given choices between what two numbers
`(26)/(5)` lies, we first need to find the decimal value of
`(26)/(5)`.

We know that
`(26)/(5) =5.2`

Now, let us consider given choices one by one.

Clearly, 5.2 is greater than 3, it cannot lie between 2 and 3.

Clearly, 5.2 is greater than 4, it cannot lie between 3 and 4.

Also, 5.2 is greater than 5, it cannot lie between 4 and 5.

Now, 5.2 is greater than 5 and less than 6. So, we can say that 5.2 or
`(26)/(5)` lies between 5 and 6.

Hence,
`(26)/(5)` lies between 5 and 6.

So, choice number (4) is correct.
