If one is added to the numerator of the fraction it becomes one. If one is added to the denominator of the fraction it becomes 1/2. The fraction is?

  • A.1/2
  • B.3/5
  • C.2/3
  • D.2/5

Answer: C

Let the fraction be x/y.

=> (x+1)/y = 1

=> x+1 = y—(1) x/(y-1) = 1/2

=> 2x = (y+1)—(2)

=>Equating (1) and (2)

=> x+1 = 2x-1

=>x=2

Substituting the value of x in (1)

=>y=3

=>2/3
