Q104 of 113 Page 110

Denominator of a number is 4 less than its numerator. If 6 is added to the numerator it becomes thrice the demoninator. Find the fraction.

Let the numerator be x

Denominator = x-4


According to the question


x + 6 = 3(x-4)
x + 6 = 3x-12


x-3x = -12-6


-2x = -18


x = 9


(divide by -2 on both the sides)


The numerator = 9


The denominator = x-4 = 9-4 = 5
