    Two hackers planned to hack a bank account which had debit card pin code in such a format that if a fraction could be made using the first two digits as numerator and last two digits as denominator, then if the numerator of the fraction was increased by 200% and the denominator by 300%, the fraction becomes 12/15. What was the pin of the debit card?

    Explanation

    n percent (%) of a number x = x×n100x \times \frac{n}{{100}} Suppose the original fraction to be x/y. Then, x+x×200100y+y×300100=1215\frac{{x+x \times \frac{{200}}{{100}}}}{{y+y \times \frac{{300}}{{100}}}} = \frac{{12}}{{15}} ⇒xy=12×415×3\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \frac{{12 \times 4}}{{15 \times 3}} ⇒xy=1615\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \frac{{16}}{{15}} ∴ Debit card pin is 1615
