The difference of the numerator to the denominator of rational number is 1. If 8 is subtracted from the numerator and 1 is added to the denominator the new rational number becomes zero. find the rational number.
Harshi666:
and r u happy with your position now??
I mean to ask... r u benefitted by ur parents guidance??
Iam the younger one. .i have a brother elder to me. .he is married. .I cannot say that am not satisfied. .am satisfied but not completly satisfied. it would have been a different story if i choosed my favourite subject.
oh...
u never said that u want to choose biology to ur parents??
or to anyone?
Yes. .i didn't say. .that was my fault because i was not aware that : it is a turning point and we need to stay with the subject what we choose now. .

thanks alot... I will surely convey my decision to them.. actually even I thought to go to stream which is suggested by them
Yes! you need share your interests with your parents and discuss with them and finally make a good decision.

Let the Original Rational number be : p/q
where p is the numerator and q is the denominator
Given that the difference of the numerator to the denominator of this original rational number is 1
⇒ p - q = 1
It is also given that if 8 is subtracted from the numerator and 1 is added to the denominator the new rational number becomes zero
⇒ (p - 8)/(q + 1) = 0
The above fraction can become zero only when p - 8 = 0
⇒ p = 8
As p - q = 1
⇒ 8 - q = 1
⇒ q = 7
So the Original Rational number is 8/7
