The sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 11. If 1 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator, it becomes The fraction is
Explanation
Let the fraction be
According to the question
Given x+y=11
= x=11-y ---Eq(1)
= 2(12-y)=3(y-2)
= 24-2y=3y-6
= -2y-3y=-6-24
= -5y= -30
= y=6
Substitute 'y' in Eq(1) we get,
= x=11-(6)
= x=5
∴ (x,y)=(5,6)
Hence, Option B is correct.
