Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{11}$
Solution : Let the numerator of the fraction be '$x$' and the denominator = $x$ + 6 According to the question, ⇒ 4 × ($x$ - 1) = ($x$ + 6) + 5 ⇒ 4$x$ - 4 = $x$ + 11 ⇒ $x$ = 5 So, The numerator of the fraction = 5 and the denominator of the fraction = $x$ + 6 = 5 + 6 = 11 $\therefore$ the original fraction is $\frac{5}{11}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{11}$.
