The right answer is Option C : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The numerator of fraction = x

The denominator of a fraction is 10 more than its numerator.

\frac{x}{x+10}

When 1/3 is added to this fraction,

\frac{x}{x+10}+\frac{1}{3}

the resulting fraction’s denominator is three times the denominator of the original fraction its numerator is 15 less than its denominator

\frac{3(x+10)-15}{3(x+10)}

Therefore, it becomes

\frac{x}{x+10}+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3(x+10)-15}{3(x+10)}

Taking LCM on left side

\frac{3x+(x+10)}{3(x+10)}=\frac{(3x+30)-15}{3(x+10)}\\\\\frac{3x+x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+30-15}{x(x+10)}\\\\\frac{4x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+15}{3(x+10)}

Multiplying both sides by 3(x+10)

3(x+10)*\frac{4x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+15}{3(x+10)}*3(x+10)\\4x+10=3x+15\\4x-3x=15-10\\x=5

The numerator of original fraction is 5.

The right answer is Option C : 5
