Assume orignial fraction to be x/y.

According to 1stcondition, (x+1)/(y-1) = ½
According to 2ndcondition, (x + (2x-1))/(y+(3y+2)) = 1/6

Onsolving above two conditions, you will get x = 2 and y = 7. therfore, the franction is 2/7

Thanks.

Let the fraction be x/y
(x+1)/(y-1) = ½
(x+2x-1)/(y+3y+2) = 1/6
Solve this two equations......
x=2,y=7
Therefore the fraction is 2/7
