    The denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 11. If 8 is added to both its numerator and denominator, then it becomes 3/4. The fraction is

    A)  25/26             

    B)  35/26

    C)  26/35             

    D)  25/36

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ans.  Let numerator of the fraction \[=x\] Then denominator of the fraction \[=x+11\] According to the question, \[\frac{x+8}{(x+11)}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[4(x+8)=3(x+19)\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[4x+32=3x+57\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[x=25\] Thus, fraction \[=\frac{x}{x+11}=\frac{25}{36}\]
