    A.

    19\frac{1}{9}​​

    B.

    29\frac{2}{9}​​

    C.

    13\frac{1}{3}​​

    D.

    49\frac{4}{9}​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Original fraction xy New fraction =1.2x0.8y=69=23 \text{Original fraction } \frac{x}{y} \\\ \\\text{New fraction } = \frac{1.2x}{0.8y} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \\

    Solution:1.2x0.8y=23 3.6x=1.6y 3.6x0.4=1.6y0.4=>9x=4y xy=49 Final Answer:49\textbf{Solution:} \\\quad \frac{1.2x}{0.8y} = \frac{2}{3} \\\ \\\quad 3.6x = 1.6y \\\ \\\quad \frac{3.6x}{0.4} = \frac{1.6y}{0.4} \Rightarrow 9x = 4y \\\ \\\quad \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{9} \\\ \\\textbf{Final Answer:} \\\quad \boxed{\frac{4}{9}}
