Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3/14 Given: Numerator increased by 200% Denominator increased by 150% Resultant fraction = 9/35 Calculation: Let us take the numerator be x Let us take the denominator be y According to the question (x + 200% of x)/(y +150% of y) = 9/35 ⇒ (x+2x)/(y+1.5y) = 9/35 ⇒ 35(3x) = (2.5y)9 ⇒ 105x = 22.5y ⇒ x/y = 3/14 ∴ The original fraction = 3/14
