The numerator of a fraction is 6 less than its denominator. If the numerator is decreased by 1 and the denominator is increased by 5, then its denominator becomes 4 times the numerator. Find the fraction.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e.
According to the question,
N = D - 6.............(1)
Now, (N - 1)/(D + 5) = 1/4
On solving further we get,
4N - D = 9...........(2)
On solving eq(1) and (2) we get,
N = 5 and D = 11
Required fraction = 5/11.
