reduced by 1, then value of the fraction would be. Find the fraction.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numerator of the fraction by increasing 1 be x+1.

and let the denominator of the fraction by decreasing 1 be x-1

the sum of numerator and denominator is 10

ATQ

(x+1)+(x-1)=10

x+1+x-1=10

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

then the numerator isx+1=6

and the denominator is x-1=4

the required fraction is 6/4=10
