Answer

As we know that, for any two rational numbers ab\dfrac{a}{b} and cd\dfrac{c}{d}, (a+cb+d)\Big(\dfrac{a + c}{b + d}\Big) is also a rational number with its value lying between ab\dfrac{a}{b} and cd\dfrac{c}{d}.

The rational number between 13\dfrac{1}{3} and 12\dfrac{1}{2} is (1+13+2)\Big(\dfrac{1 + 1}{3 + 2}\Big)

= (25)\Big(\dfrac{2}{5}\Big)

The rational number between 13\dfrac{1}{3} and 25\dfrac{2}{5} is (1+23+5)\Big(\dfrac{1 + 2}{3 + 5}\Big)

= (38)\Big(\dfrac{3}{8}\Big)

The rational number between 12\dfrac{1}{2} and 25\dfrac{2}{5} is (1+22+5)\Big(\dfrac{1 + 2}{2 + 5}\Big)

= (37)\Big(\dfrac{3}{7}\Big)

37\dfrac{3}{7} and 38\dfrac{3}{8} are two rational number between 13\dfrac{1}{3} and 12\dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
