A fraction becomes 2/3 when 1 is added to both, its numerator and denominator. And ,it becomes 1/2 when 1 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator. Find the fraction.

Answer»

Let the required fraction be x/y. Then, 

x+1 / y+1 = 2 / 3 

=> 3x – 2y = - 1 …(i) and x – 1 / y – 1 = 1 / 2 

2x – y = 1 …(ii) 

Solving (i) and (ii), we get : 

x = 3 , y = 5 therefore, 

Required fraction= 3 / 5.
