   Let the numerator be ‘a’ and denominator be ‘b’ Given, 3 is added to the denominator and 2 is subtracted from the numerator a fraction becomes 1/4.

   

   ⇒ 4a-8=b+3

   ⇒ 4a-b=11—-(1)

   Also, when 6 is added to numerator and the denominator is multiplied by 3, it becomes 2/3.

   

   ⇒3a+18=2b

   ⇒a+6=2b—-(2)

   Multiplying eq2 by 4 and subtracting from eq1

   ⇒ 4a-b-4a-24=11-8b

   ⇒ 7b=35

   ⇒ b=5

   Thus, a=4

   Fraction is 4/5
