Inequalities (Fractions): If p/q < 1, and p and q are pos

If p/q < 1, and p and q are positive integers, which of the following must be greater than 1 ?

A) sqrt (p/q)
B) p/q^2
C) p/2q
D) q/p^2
E) q/p

I used the "plugging-in" numbers approach to solve this. Was wondering if there was another approach to take when solving this type of question. Any input ?

My approach. p and q are positive integers ... so for p/q < 1, I assigned p=2, q=3. so p/q = 2/3. Then I went through each of the answer choices, and the only answer choice which was greater than 1 ... is E. 3/2 is greater than 1.

Any other approaches ?

Thanks.

You have to understand the properties of factions.
If X is greater than on 1/X is less than one, and vice-versa.

In the question if we say X = p/q, then 1/X > 1. So pick q/p

Sure ...
What do you mean by "X <1> 1"

Some HTML formatting stuff, I corrected it now to 1/X > 1

Then x is smaller than 1?
