Question

If a/b is a fraction, where a = b - 3 and (a + 10)/b – a/b = 10/7, then find a/b.

A.

4/7

B.

5/8

C.

2/5

D.

8/11

Correct option is A

Given:

a = b - 3

(a+10)bab=107\frac{(a + 10)}{b} - \frac{a}{b} = \frac{10}{7}​​

Solution:

(a+10)bab=107\frac{(a + 10)}{b} - \frac{a}{b} = \frac{10}{7}​​

So, the equation becomes:

10b=107\frac{10}{b} = \frac{10}{7}​​

b = 7

Now, substitute b = 7 into a = b - 3:

a = 7 - 3 = 4

Thus, ab=47\frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{7}​​

Therefore, the value of abis47.\frac{a}{b} is \frac{4}{7}.​​
