⇝ Correct Question :-

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is 3/2. find the Rational number

⇝ Given :-

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 8.

If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is 3/2.

⇝ To Find :-

The Rational Number.

⇝ Solution :-

Let Numerator and Denominator of Original Rational Number be :

Numerator = x

Accordingly :

Denominator should be = x + 8

So ,

\text{Original Number = } \frac{\text x}{\text x + 8}  \\

❒ When Numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1 :

\text{Number Becomes : } \frac{\text x + 17}{\text x + 7}  \\

⏩ According To Question :

 \frac{\text x + 17}{\text x + 7}  =  \frac{3}{2}  \\

:\longmapsto2(\text x + 17) = 3(\text x + 7) \\

:\longmapsto2\text x + 34 = 3\text x + 21 \\

:\longmapsto2\text x - 3\text x = 21 - 34 \\

:\longmapsto \cancel - \text x =   \cancel - 13 \\

\purple{ \Large :\longmapsto  \underline {\boxed{{\bf x = 13} }}}

So,

\text{Original Number = } \frac{13}{13+ 8}  \\

Hence,

\large\underline{\pink{\underline{\frak{\pmb{ Original  \: Number  =  \dfrac{13}{21} }}}}}
