4875/12927.

Explanation:

The cardiac output may be defined as the product of the heart rate and the stroke volume.

Cardiac output = stroke volume * heart rate

The cardiac output at rest can be calculated as follows:

The stroke volume at rest is 75 and the heart rate is 65.

Cardiac output = 75*65

Cardiac output = 4875.

The cardiac output after exercise can be calculated as follows:

The stroke volume has been increased by 24%.

Final stroke volume = 75 * 24/100 + 75

Final stroke volume = 93.

Heart rate = 139.

Cardiac output = 139*93

Cardiac output = 12927.

Thus, the answer is 4875/12927.
