A fraction becomes `1/3` when 2 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes `1/2` when 1 is subtracted from the denominator. Find the fraction.
उत्तर
Let's assume the fraction be `"x"/"y"`
First condition:
`(X-2)/y =1/3`
⇒ 3x -6 = y
⇒ 3X - Y= 6 ............. (1)
second condition:
`x/(y-1)= 1/2`
⇒ 2x = y- 1
⇒ 2x - y = -l ............ (2)
Using eliminated method:
Multiplying : (2) by -1 and then adding (1) and (2)
⇒ 3x- y = 6
⇒ - 2x + y = 1
⇒ x = 7
Now, from (1),
⇒ 3x - y =6
⇒ 3(7) - y = 6
⇒ 21 - y =6
⇒ y = 15
∴ x = 7, y = 15

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. If 5 is added in each numbers, then the ratio becomes 5:7 find the numbers.
The ratio of two numbers is 2:3.
So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.
From the given condition,
`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`
`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`
`square + square = square + square`
`square - square = square - square`
`- square = - square`
x = `square`
So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`
and, Second number = `3 xx square = square`
Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`
