    B)  \[\frac{3}{5}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]                         

    D)  \[\frac{10}{11}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): Let required fraction be \[\frac{x}{y}\] So, \[\frac{x}{y+1}=\frac{1}{2}\] ___________(1) And \[x+\frac{2}{y}=1\]___________ (2) Solving equation (1) & (2) we get\[x=2\] and\[y=5\]
