If the new numerator of a fraction is increased by 200% and the denominator of the fraction is increased by 150%, the resultant fraction is \(\frac{9}{35}\) What is the original fraction ?1. 3/142. 2/153. 3/164. 3/10

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
