Answer

Given,

Two rational numbers : 16\dfrac{1}{6} and 25\dfrac{2}{5}.

L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.

16=1×56×5=53025=2×65×6=1230.\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \dfrac{5}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{2 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \dfrac{12}{30}.

So, 5 rational numbers between 530\dfrac{5}{30} and 1230\dfrac{12}{30} are :

630,730,830,930,103015,730,415,310,13.\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{30}, \dfrac{7}{30}, \dfrac{8}{30}, \dfrac{9}{30}, \dfrac{10}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{5}, \dfrac{7}{30}, \dfrac{4}{15}, \dfrac{3}{10}, \dfrac{1}{3}.

Hence, 5 rational numbers between 16\dfrac{1}{6} and 25\dfrac{2}{5} are 15,730,415,310\dfrac{1}{5}, \dfrac{7}{30}, \dfrac{4}{15}, \dfrac{3}{10} and 13\dfrac{1}{3}.
