The denominator of a fraction is 3 more than the numerator. If the numerator as well as the denominator is increased by 4, the fraction becomes 4/5. What was the original fraction ?
Correct Answer: 8\/11
Let the numerator be x Then, denominator = x + 3.
Now. (x + 4)/(x + 3) +4 = 4/5 <=> 5 (x + 4) = 4(x + 7)
=> x = 8.
The fraction is 8/11.
