Answer

A fraction is in simplest form if HCF of numerator and denominator is 1.

  1. HCF of 27 and 28 = 1. So, simplest form.

  2. HCF of 13 and 33 = 1. So, simplest form.

  3. HCF of 39 and 87 = 3. So, not in simplest form.

3987=39÷387÷3=1329\dfrac{39}{87} = \dfrac{39 \div 3}{87 \div 3} = \dfrac{13}{29}.

  1. HCF of 14 and 9 = 1. So, simplest form.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
