Let the fraction be x/y
A.T.Q,
x-1/y=1/3...............(1)
x/y+8=1/4.............(2)
From equation (1)we get, 3(x-1)=y
3x-3=y. =>3x-y=3......…..(3)
From equation (2)we get,4x=y+8
4x-y=8............(4)
From equation (3)&(4)we get,
x=5,.
Putting x=5 in equation (3) we get,
y=12
Therefore, required fraction=5/12
