      Question

      The top part (numerator) of a fraction is 4 more than

      three times the bottom part (denominator). If we reduce the numerator by 15 and increase the denominator by 43, the fraction then equals 2/3. What is the difference between the numerator and denominator of the original fraction?
      A 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ; Let the denominator be β€˜x’ So, numerator = 3x + 4 ATQ; (3x + 4 – 15)/(x + 43) = 2/3 Or, 9x – 33 = 2x + 86 Or, 7x = 119 Or, x = 17 Desired difference = 3x + 4 – x = 2x + 4 = 2 Γ— 17 + 4 = 38
