Answer 2

Answer:

C) 5/8

Let numerator of the fraction is x and denominator is y, then fraction will be

y

x

.

Numerator increased 200%, so new numerator would be ,

[x+

100

(200×x)

]=3x .........(i)

New denominator will be,

[y+

100

(350y)

]=

10

45y

.........(ii)

Now, according to question, we have

(45y/10)

3x

=

12

5

⇒

45y

30x

=

12

5

⇒360x=225y

⇒

y

x

=

360

225

⇒

y

x

=

8

5

So, original fraction was
