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.
