• The orignal fraction.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\green{Answer :-}}}}$

Let, the numerator be x

The numerator of a fraction is 2 less than the denominator.

And , The denominator is x+2

The fraction is = $\dfrac{x}{x + 2}$

One is added to the denominator = x+2 = x+2+1

The fraction $\dfrac{x}{x + 2 + 1}$

➝ $\dfrac{x}{x + 3 }$

➝ $\dfrac{x}{x + 3 }$ = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

➝ 2x = x + 3

➝ 2x - x = 3

➝ x = 3

• The numerator be x = 3

• And , The denominator is x+2 = 3 +2 = 5

The orignal fraction is 3/5 .
