ANSWER

Let the numerator of the rational number be x.

Then, the denominator of the rational number =x+3

According to the given condition,

New numerator =3x and new denominator =(x+3)+20=x+23

Given,

x+23

3x = 81

By cross multiplying, we get

8(3x)=x+23

⇒24x=x+23

⇒23x=23 ....[On Transposing]

or x=1

Therefore, numerator of the rational number =1 and denominator =1+3=4.

Hence, the original rational number is

41

17/12

$\large\underline\red{GIVEN,}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \blue{THE\:GIVEN\:FRACTION\:IS\:A\:RATIONAL\:NUMBER.}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow$

${\blue{\mathbb{\text{ denominator is less than its numerator by 5.}}}}$

$\sf\therefore \blue{let\:the\:numerator\:be\:x}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \blue{denominator= x-5}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \blue{\dfrac{x}{x-5}}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \bold\pink{if \:5 \:is \:added\: to \:the \:numerator, \:numerator \:becomes\: ; \dfrac{11}{6}}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \red{numerator= x+5}$

THE EQUATION FORM IS,

$\rm{\boxed{\sf{\green{ \circ\:\: \dfrac{x+5}{x-5} = \dfrac{11}{6}\:\: \circ}}}}$

$\large\underline\purple{TO\:FIND,}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \red{\:THE\:ORIGINAL\:RATIONAL\:NUMBER}$

$\sf\implies \green{\dfrac{x + 5}{x - 5} = \dfrac{11}{6}}$

$\sf\implies \green{6 \times (x+5)= 11 \times (x-5)}$

$\sf\implies \green{6x+30= 11x-55}$

$\sf\implies \green{30+55=11x-6x}$

$\sf\implies \green{85= 5x}$

$\sf\implies \green{x= \dfrac{85}{5}}$

$\sf\implies \green{x= \cancel \dfrac{85}{5}}$

$\sf\implies \orange{x = 17}$

$\rm{\boxed{\sf{ \circ\:\: x= 17 \:\: \circ}}}$

THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS ARE,

$\sf\implies \red{numerator=x =17}$

$\sf\implies \red{d enominator= x-5}$

$\sf\implies \red{denominator=17-5}$

$\sf\implies \pink{denominator=12}$

$\large\underline\orange{FRACTION,}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \purple{\dfrac{x}{x-5}= \dfrac{17}{12}}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow \purple{\dfrac{NUMERATOR}{DENOMINATOR}= \dfrac{17}{12}}$

$\rm\underline\blue{NUMERATOR\:IS\:17\:AND\: DENOMINATOR\:IS\:12}$

$\rm{\boxed{\sf{ \circ\:\: \dfrac{NUMERATOR}{DENOMINATOR}= \dfrac{17}{12} \:\: \circ}}}$
