Question

A fraction reduces to 1/4 when 2 is subtracted from the numerator and 3 is added to the denominator.But it reduces to 2/3 if 6 is added to the numerator and denominator is multiplied by 3. Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let numerator be x and denominator be y

therefore fraction will be x/y

ATQ

x-2/y+3=1/2

2x-4=y+3

2x-y=3+4

2x-y=7.............(i)

again,ATQ

x+6/3y=2/3

3x+18=6y

3x-6y=18.......(ii)

now solve the equation and find the value of x and y and write it as a fraction x/y.
