The numerator of a fraction is 1 less than twice the denominator. If the numerator and denominator are both increased by \
1, the fraction becomes 3/5. Find the fraction?
Choices:
A) A)5/3 B) B)3/5 C) C)4/7 D) D)5/9 E) of these
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively.   n = 2d - 1   (n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5   5n + 5 = 3d + 3   5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 =&gt; n = 5   n = 2d - 1 =&gt; d = 3   Hence the fraction is : 5/3   5/3NSWER:5/3
