Let the numerator be 'a' and denominator be 'b' Given, 3 is added to the denominator and 2 is subtracted from the numerator a fraction becomes 1/4.



⇒ 4a-8=b+3

⇒ 4a-b=11----(1)

Also, when 6 is added to numerator and the denominator is multiplied by 3, it becomes 2/3.



⇒3a+18=2b

⇒a+6=2b----(2)

Multiplying eq2 by 4 and subtracting from eq1

⇒ 4a-b-4a-24=11-8b

⇒ 7b=35

⇒ b=5

Thus, a=4

Fraction is 4/5
