उत्तर
Let denominator of the original fraction = x
Then numerator = x – 5
and fraction = `("x" - 5)/"x"`
According to the condition,
`("x" - 5 + 3)/("x" + 3) = 4/5`
`=> ("x" - 2)/("x" + 3) = 4/5`
⇒ 5(x - 2) = 4x + 12
⇒ 5x - 10 = 4x + 12
⇒ x = 22
∴ Original fraction = `("x" - 5)/"x"`
`= (22 - 5)/22 = 17/22`
