    If we multiply a fraction by itself, the fraction thus obtained is \[\frac{16}{81}\]. The original fraction is

    A)  \[\frac{8}{27}\]                                 

    B)  \[2\frac{2}{3}\]                     

    C)  \[1\frac{1}{3}\]                     

    D)         \[\frac{4}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the original fraction be \[\frac{x}{y}.\] According to question, \[\left( \frac{x}{y}+\frac{x}{y} \right)=\frac{16}{81}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{y}^{2}}}=\frac{16}{81}\,\,\Rightarrow \,{{\left( \frac{x}{y} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{4}{9} \right)}^{2}}\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{9}\]
