Question

if the numerator of a fraction is increased by 1 , its value becomes 3/4 . if its denominator is increased by 2, its value becomes 1/2 . find the fraction​

Answer 1

Let Fraction be x/y

We are given, (x+1)/y = 3/4

               so, 4x + 4 = 3y

                    3y - 4x = 4 -------------------------------------(1)

also,              x/(y+2) = 1/2

                    2x = y + 2

                    y - 2x = -2      ---------------------------------(2)

solving Eqn. (1) and (2)

x = 5 and y = 8

Hence, Fraction is 5/8
