Step 1: Understanding the question
As p and q are positive, and \(\frac{p}{q }\)< 1, therefore, p < q
Step 2: Calculation
p < q
1 < \(\frac{q}{ p}\)
hence \(\frac{q}{p}\) is always greater than 1
E is correct

p and q are positive integers and p/q<1,
Since this is a MUST question and not the SHOULD question, I think we can assume the values. Say p=1 and q=2.
For these values, only option that makes the value >1 is E.
So, the answer should be E.
