Solution

The correct option is B
5/11

Numerator = y

Denominator = 2y + 1

$F r a c t i o n = \frac{N}{D} = \frac{y}{2 y + 1}$

As per the question,

$\frac{y + 4}{2 y + 1 + 4} = \frac{3}{5}$

$\Rightarrow 5 y + 20 = 6 y + 15$

$\Rightarrow - y = - 5$

$\Rightarrow y = 5$

$F r a c t i o n = \frac{y}{2 y + 1} = \frac{5}{11}$
