Option D. 1/4. Answer & Solution Answer: Option D Solution: & Let denominator = x & Numerator = x + 3 & Fraction become = x + 3x & According to the question, & x + 3 + 5x - 2 = 8/3 & 3x + 24 = 8x - 16 & 5x = 40 & x = 8 & Denominator = 8 & Numerator = 8 + 3 = 11 & Fraction = 118 & Then, 118 ÷ 1…

The numerator of a fraction is 3 more than the denominator. When 5 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator, the fraction becomes 8/3. When the original fraction is divided by 51/2, the fraction so obtained is:
