When you have to deal with such questions do not calculate but compare.
Simplify the fraction and see what is going on
A. \(\frac{3*2^2}{3^2*2*3}=\frac{2^2}{3^2}\)
B. \(\frac{2^3*3^2}{3^2*2^2}=2^3
\)
C. \(\frac{2^2+5^2+2^3}{3^4*2*3}=\frac{2*5+2^3}{3^4}\)
D. \(\frac{5^2*2}{5*2^4}=\frac{5}{2^3}\)
E. \(\frac{2^2*5^2}{5^2*2*2^2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Clearly C is the least
