m/n= 1/3 + 1/1999 + 1/5 + 1/1997 + 1/17 + 1/1985 + 1/19 + 1/1983 + 1/23 + 1/1979
 
m/n = 1999+3/3*1999 + 1997+5/5*1997 + 1985+17/17*1985 + 1983+19/19*1983 + 1979+23/23*1979
 
taking 2002 common
 
m/n = 2002 (1/3*1999 + 1/5*1997   + 1/17*1985 + 1/ 19*1983  + 1/ 23*1979)
 
let  1/3*1999 + 1/5*1997   + 1/17*1985 + 1/ 19*1983  + 1/ 23*1979 = k
 
m/n = 2002*k
 
m/n is divisible by 2002. This is how we can approach this problem. But k may
 
or may not be an integer  so we cant say surely wether it is divisible by 2002 or
 
not.Since you have given two options i ll assume k is a number. so 2002 is right
 
choice.  
 

They say ITZ NOT THE APTITUDE BUT THE ATTITUDE WHICH DECIDES U R ALTITUDE . THEN WHY M I NOT AT THE TOP IN THIS SITE? LIFE IS JUST NOT FAIR.
