When the numerator of a fraction is decreased by 25% and its denominator is decreased by 20%, the new fraction obtained is 3/4. Find the original fraction?

A. 5/4
B. 4/7
C. 5/6
D. 6/7
E. None of these

Explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y.

When the numerator decreased by 25% and the denominator decreased by 20%.
(x * 3/4)/(y * 4/5) = 3/4 => x/y = 3/4 * (4/5)/(3/4) = 4/5

Correct Answer: None of these ✔
