Answer:

Let the numerator be 'a' and denominator be 'b' Given, fraction becomes 13 if 1 is subtracted from both its numerator and denominator. If 1 is added to both the numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2.

⇒ 3a-3=b-1

⇒ b=3a-2-----(1)

Also, if 1 is added to both the numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2

⇒ b=2a+1-----(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

→ 3a - 2 - 2a + 1

→ a=3

Thus, b = 7

Fraction is 3/7
