The sum of numerator and denominator of a fraction is 30. If 2 is added to numerator and 2 is subtracted from denominator, then it becomes 2/3. Find the fraction.Options :1/21/32/3¼

Let's denote the numerator as x and the denominator as y.

From the problem, we know that:

1. x + y = 30 (The sum of the numerator and denominator is 30)

2. (x + 2) / (y - 2) = 2/3 (If 2 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator, the fraction becomes 2/3)

We can solve these two equations to find the values of x and y.

First, let's rearrange the second equation:

(x + 2) = 2/3 * (y - 2)

This simplifies to:

3x + 6 = 2y - 4

Or, rearranged:

3x - 2y = -10

Now we have a system of two equations:

1. x + y = 30
2. 3x - 2y = -10

We can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution:

From the first equation, we can express y as 30 - x. Substituting this into the second equation gives:

3x - 2(30 - x) = -10

Solving this equation gives x = 20.

Substituting x = 20 into the first equation gives y = 30 - 20 = 10.

So, the fraction is 20/10, which simplifies to 2. However, this is not one of the options given. There seems to be a mistake in the problem or the options.
