Question

if numerator of a fraction is increased by 1 and denominator is decreased by 1 then fraction becomes 1/2.If numerator is increased by 1 less than twice of itself and denominator is increased 2 more than thrice of itself then the fraction becomes 1/6.Find the original fraction.​

Answer 1

According to 1stcondition, (x+1)/(y-1) = ½

According to 2ndcondition, (x + (2x-1))/(y+(3y+2)) = 1/6

Onsolving above two conditions, you will get x = 2 and y = 7. therfore, the franction is 2/7
