let the fraction be x and y
According to given question
when 2 is subtracted from the numerator it becomes 1/3
therefore
x-2/y=1/3
cross multiply
it becomes ,3x-6=y
3x-y=6............ eqa 1
again 1 is subtracted from denominator fraction becomes 1/2.
therefore ,x/y-1=1/2
2x-y=-1 ............ equ 2
from equation 1 and 2 ,we have
x=7 and y=15
therefore ,fraction is 7/12
Hope it helps you!
