Heyaa Dude !!!!!

==> Let the fraction be

==> Let the fraction be

 \frac{x}{y}

==> According To The Question

 \frac{x + 1}{y - 1} = 1

Equation 1 ==> x-y = -2

 \frac {x}{y + 1} =  \frac{1}{2}

Equation 2 ==> 2x - y = 1

Subtracting Equation [1] From Equation [2] then, we obtain x as 3 .

Substituting this value of x in equation [1] then

==> 3-y = -2

==> -y = -5

==> y = 5

Hence, the fraction will be

 \frac{3}{5}
