The sum of the numerator and denominator of a positive fraction is 11. If 2 is added to both numerator and denominator, the fraction is increased by 1/24. The diffrence of numerator and denominator of the fraction is :

• Let the fraction be x/y
  
  x+y=11 from this we get x=11-y...equ(1)
  
  x+2/y+2=x/y + 1/24
  
  
  y^2-94y+528=0
  
  The valid value of y is 6, which makes x=5
  
  So difference is = 1
