This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2015 CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (2-Apr-2016) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

13/33 < 20/47 < 32/47 < 25/27

Convert each fraction to a decimal to compare:
13/33 = 0.394
20/47 = 0.426
32/47 = 0.681
25/27 = 0.926

Arranging in increasing order:
0.394 < 0.426 < 0.681 < 0.926
13/33 < 20/47 < 32/47 < 25/27

Check: 20/47 and 32/47 share the denominator 47, so 20/47 < 32/47 directly; and 13 × 47 = 611 < 20 × 33 = 660, so 13/33 < 20/47.

Hence, 13/33 < 20/47 < 32/47 < 25/27.
