  1. Given : The numerator of fraction is 1 less than its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 4 and the denominator is increased by 5, the new fraction becomes equivalent to (4/5) What is the original fraction ?

    Answer :

    Let us assume that, the original fraction is x/y .

    so,

    → x = y – 1 ——– Eqn.(1)

    now,

    → (x + 4)/(y + 5) = 4/5

    → 5(x + 4) = 4(y + 5)

    → 5x + 20 = 4y + 20

    → 5x = 4y

    putting value of Eqn.(1) ,

    → 5(y – 1) = 4y

    → 5y – 5 = 4y

    → 5y – 4y = 5

    → y = 5 .

    then,

    → x = y – 1 = 5 – 1 = 4 .

    therefore, required original fraction will be (x/y) = (4/5) .
