    If 1 is added to the denominator of a fraction it becomes \[\frac{1}{2}\] If 1 is added to the numerator it becomes 1. The product of numerator and denominator of the fraction is

    A) 6                     

    B) 10      

    C) 12                                

    D) 14

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the numerator = x and denominator = y \[\therefore \] Fraction \[=\frac{x}{y}\] and \[\frac{x}{y+1}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2x=y+1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{y+1}{2}\]             \[\frac{x+1}{y}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x+1=y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{y+1}{2}+1=y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{y+1+2}{2}=y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y+3=2y\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=2\]             \[x+1=3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=2\]             \[xy=2\times 3=6\]
