Let the numerator be x
Denominator = x+2
When 1 is added to Denominator:-
Denominator = x+2+1=x+3
A.T.Q.
(x)/(x+3)=1/2
Cross multiplying
x+3=2x
2x-x=3
x=3
Original Numerator = x = 3
Original Denominator = x+2 = 3+2 = 5
Original fraction = 3/5
Verification:-
Fraction = 3/5
1 is added to the Denominator:-
3/(5+1) = 1/2
3/6 = 1/2
1/2 = 1/2
Hence verified
