    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)
