Question

13) Numerator of a fraction is 2 less than
the denominator. If 1 is added to the
numerator and 3 to the denominator,
then the fraction becomes 2 . Find the
original fraction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the denominator be x

numerator be x-2

now,

fraction=x-2/x

again,

numerator=x-2+1

=x-1

denominator=x+3

fraction=x-1/x+3

A/Q,

x-1/x+3=2

≠x-1=2x+6

≠x-2x=1+6

≠-x=7

so,x=-7

fraction=x-2/x

= -7-2/-7

= -9/-7

=9/7
