If the numerator of a fracton be increased by 15% and its denomiantor be diminished by 8%, the value of the fraction is 15 / 16. The original fraction is :

a. 3 / 5
b. 3 / 4
c. 3 / 7
d. 2 / 3

• According to the question,
  Let the initial numerator and denominator be x and y.
  Then,
  => (115% of x) / (92% of y) = 15/16.
  => 115x/92y= 15/16.
  => 115x * 16 = 92y * 15 .
  => 23x * 4 = 23y * 3
  => x/y = 3/4.
