A) \[\frac{7}{11}\]
B) \[\frac{3}{5}\]
C) \[\frac{5}{8}\]
D) \[\frac{4}{7}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let the number be \[\frac{x}{y}\] According to the question, \[y=x+3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=y-3\] .....(1) Also, \[\frac{x-3}{y+2}=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5x-15=y+2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5x=y+17\] ??(2) Solving (1) and (2), we get \[x=5\]and \[y=8~\] \[\therefore \] Required number \[=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{8}\]You need to login to perform this action.
