प्रश्न
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 sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` .....(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ......(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
Evaluate: (1004)3
