If 1 is added to the denominator of a traction, the fraction becomes 1/2. If 1 is added to the numerator of the fraction, the fraction becomes 1. The fraction is :
Correct Answer: 2/3
Explanation:
Let the fraction be x/y. Then, x /(y+1) = 1/2
=> 2x - y = 1 ..........(i)and
(x + 1) / y = 1 => x - y = 1 .......(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get : x = 2, y = 3. Hence, the required fraction is 2/3..
