atleast twice greater than 11/50 = greater then 2*11/50 = greater then 11/25

here you can see 2/5 , 9/20 have 5 and 20 in denominator [5's multiple, easy to make denominator common in comapring fractions] so target them first
now 2/5= 10/25 less then 11/25 . reject
9/20 = 45/100
11/25 = 44/100
45 > 44
so we got the answer here .. :) (E)

2/5 = 20/50 < 22/50 so X -- (Multiply numerator and denominator with 10)
11/34 = 22/68 < 22/50 so X -- (Multiply numerator and denominator with 2)
43/99 = Skip !
8/21 = 22/52.5 < 22/50 so X -- (Multiply numerator and denominator with 2.5)
9/20 = 22.5/50 so this is the answer ! -- (Multiply numerator and denominator with 2.5)
