2. Let us assume thenumerator to be =x

   Let us assume thedenominator to be =y

   Hence the fractionbecomes=x/y

   Accordingtothe given condition

   (x−1)/y=1/3

   ⇒y=3x−3 ———-(i)

   Accordingtothesecond givencondition,

   x/(y+8)=1/4

   ⇒y+8=4x

   ⇒y=4x−8 ————(ii)

   Combining(i)and(ii) we get,

   3x−3=4x−8

   ⇒3x−4x=−8+3

   −x=−5

   ⇒x=5

   from(i)

   y=15−3=12

   So,the fraction is =5/12
