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