Solution
Let the original fraction be $\frac{x}{y}$
Acc to ques,
=> $\frac{x + \frac{400}{100} * x}{y + \frac{500}{100} * y} = \frac{10}{21}$
=> $\frac{5x}{6y} = \frac{10}{21}$
=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10}{21} \times \frac{6}{5}$
=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{7}$
Let the original fraction be $\frac{x}{y}$
Acc to ques,
=> $\frac{x + \frac{400}{100} * x}{y + \frac{500}{100} * y} = \frac{10}{21}$
=> $\frac{5x}{6y} = \frac{10}{21}$
=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10}{21} \times \frac{6}{5}$
=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{7}$
