If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 200% and the denominator is increased by 300%, the resultant fraction is 15/26. What was the original fraction?
A. 8/11
B. 12/15
C. 10/13
D. 11/14
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let original fraction be x/y. New numerator = x + 2x = 3x. New denominator = y + 3y = 4y. So, (3x / 4y) = 15/26. x/y = (15 * 4) / (26 * 3) = 60 / 78 = 10/13.
