Answer:

. Since we are given that e numerator of a rational number is less than its denominator by 3. Now, the numerator becomes 3 times and the denominator is increased by 20, the new number becomes 1/8. So, putting value of x in 1 get the original fraction

❍  Given that, the numerator of rational number is less than its denominator by 3 if the numerator becomes three times and the denominator is increased by 20 the new number become 1 by 8.
