1. Answer:

   hey here is your solution

   pls mark it as brainliest pls

   so here we go

   Step-by-step explanation:

   let the numerator of fraction be x and that of denominator be y

   so our required fraction is x/y

   according to the first condition

   x+1/y-1=1

   ie (x+1)=y-1

   ie x+=y-1

   so y=x+2 (1)

   according to second condition

   x/y+1=1/2

   ie 2x=y+1 (2)

   substitute value of y from (1) in (2)

   we get

   2x=x+2+1

   ie x=3

   so substitute value of x in any of two equations

   we get

   y=5

   so it fraction was x/y

   ie x/y=3/5

   so hence required fraction fraction is 3/5
