Question

A fraction is such that if the double of the numerator and the triple of denominator is changed by +10% and -30% respectively, then we get 11% of 16/21. The fraction is

A.

4/25

B.

2/25

C.

3/25

D.

7/25

Correct option is B

Given:
Numerator (x) doubled and increased by 10%.
Denominator (y) tripled and decreased by 30%.
Resulting fraction = 11% of 1621.\frac{16}{21}.​​
Formula Used:
New Numerator = 2x × 1.10
New Denominator = 3y × 0.70
Solution:
Let the original fraction be xy.\frac{x}{y}.​​
The new numerator is 2x + 10% of 2x = 2.2x.
The new denominator is 3y - 30% of 3y = 3y - 0.9y = 2.1y.
The given result is 11% of 1621=11100×1621 \frac{16}{21} = \frac{11}{100} × \frac{16}{21}​​
Set up the equation:
2.2x2.1y=11×16100×21 22x21y=1762100 xy=176×212100×22 xy=8100=225\frac{2.2x}{2.1y} = \frac{11 × 16}{100 × 21} \\ \ \\\frac{22x}{21y} = \frac{176}{2100}\\ \ \\\frac{x}{y} = \frac{176 × 21}{2100 × 22}\\ \ \\\frac{x}{y} = \frac{8}{100} = \frac{2}{25}​​
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (b)
