Find a fraction which becomes when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 2 is added to the denominator, and the fraction becomes
when 7 is subtracted from the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator.
Let the fraction be x/y.
According to question -
On Cross multiplying, we get -
⇒ 2x - 2 = y + 2
⇒ 2x - y = 4.....(1)
and,
On Cross multiplying, we get -
3x - 21 = y - 2
⇒ 3x - y = 19.....(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get -
⇒ x = 15
Substituting the value of x in equation (1), we get -
y = 26
Thus, the required fraction is 15/26.
