In a fraction, the numerator is increased by 40% and the denominator is diminished by 20%. What fraction of the original is the new fraction?

Correct option is D

Given:

Numerator increased by 40%

Denominator decreased by 20%

Solution:

​$$\frac{\frac{1.4N}{0.8D}}{\frac{N}{D}} = \frac{1.4}{0.8} \\ \ \\\frac{1.4}{0.8} =\frac{7}{4}$$​​

So, the new fraction is $$\frac{7}{4}$$​ of the original
