"Sir, please solve the question I will be grateful to u"
 
I have stated that a, b & c are correct, based on what you wrote as the question.
I have also stated that d is INCORRECT.
 
You should therefore doubt that your book is correct. There are such things as errors in books, especially books recently written in the chaos that surrounds "Common Core."
 
I invite you to check with your teacher!

Kenneth S is correct.  Just punch the division into a calculator..
5/11 = 0.454545...
 
a) 1/3 = 0.33333..
    1/2 = 0.5
    Yes, 0.454545 falls between 1/3 and 1/2
 
b) 1/3 = 0.33333
    3/4 = 0.75
    Yes, 0.454545 falls between 1/3 and 3/4
 
c)  This is the same as a .... 1/3 and 1/2
 
d)  1/5 = 0.2
     3/7 = .4286 rounded to 4 decimal places
     0.454545 does NOT fall between 1/5 and 3/7
 
The correct answers in the problem you posted are a, b, c
