The denominators of two fractions are 5 and 7 respectively. The sum of these fractions is 41/35 . On interchanging the numerators, their sum becomes 43/35 . The fractions are
Let the two fractions be $$\frac{x}{5}$$ and $$\frac{y}{7}$$
Acc to ques,
=> $$\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{7} = \frac{41}{35}$$
=> $$\frac{7x + 5y}{35} = \frac{41}{35}$$
=> $$7x + 5y = 41$$
After interchanging the numerators
=> $$\frac{y}{5} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{43}{35}$$
=> $$\frac{5x + 7y}{35} = \frac{43}{35}$$
=> $$5x + 7y = 43$$
Solving above equations, we get :
=> $$x = 3 , y = 4$$
$$\therefore$$ Original fractions = $$\frac{3}{5} , \frac{4}{7}$$
