    The numerator of a fraction is increased by 20% and denominator is decreased by 20%. The value of the fraction becomes\[\frac{4}{5}\]. The original fraction is

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

    B) \[\frac{8}{15}\]

    C) \[\frac{7}{11}\]                 

    D) \[\frac{4}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Original fraction \[=\frac{x}{y}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{\frac{120}{100}x}{y\times \frac{80}{100}}=\frac{4}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{120x}{80y}=\frac{4}{5}\Rightarrow \frac{6x}{4y}=\frac{4}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{4}{6}=\frac{8}{15}\]  In case II. Time = 2 years \[\therefore \] In case I, Rate\[~=2\times 5=10%\]
