One of the observation here is that with increasing denominator value, the contribution of terms towards sum decreases.
So a simple addition of first 1 or 2 or at the max 3 terms together with elimination of answer choices based on this simple addition should do the job.

varunkh70 & all ----

As we know already,
the sum of integers is equal to
(n(F+L))/2, where n=no.of terms
F= first term
L= last term

Here, n = no.of terms = 20 - 11 = 9 but inclusive of 20, then total terms= 9+1=10.
F= 1/11; L=1/20
Substitute the same in the above formula,
(10(1/11+1/20))/2
== (5*(11+20))/220
== 31/44

Ans : 31/44, in decimals = rounded to 0.7


HTH, GOOD LUCK,

Thanks,
Rajesh,
Loves GMAT......!!!!
