Question

65. If the numerator of the fraction is increased by 200% and denominator is increased by 350%, then new fraction is 5/12, what was the original fraction ? (1) 5/9 (2) 5/8 (3) 7/12 (4) 11/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numerator be x and denominator be y.

Now, 3x : 4.5y = 5 / 12

=> 36x = 22.5y

=>  x = 5/8y

Therefore, required ratio = x : y = 5:8

Answer- 5:8
