The denominator of a fraction is 3 less than twice the numerator. If the numerator and denominator are both increased by 1, the fraction becomes 3/5. Find the fraction?
Choose one.
A) A)2/3 B) B)13/19 C) C)4/7 D) D)11/19 E) of these
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively.   d = 2n - 3   (n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5   5n + 5 = 3d + 3   5n + 5 = 3(2n - 3) + 3 =&gt; n = 11   d = 2n - 3 =&gt; d = 19   Hence the fraction is : 11/19   ANSWER:11/19
