Answer

Let xx be the other number. 234+x=8114+x=8x=8114x=811142\dfrac{3}{4} + x = 8 \\[1em] ⇒\dfrac{11}{4} + x = 8 \\[1em] ⇒ x = 8 - \dfrac{11}{4} \\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{8}{1} - \dfrac{11}{4}

LCM of 1 and 4 is 2 x 2 = 4

x=8×41×411×14×1x=324114x=32114x=214x=514⇒ x = \dfrac{8 \times 4}{1 \times 4} - \dfrac{11 \times 1}{4 \times 1} \\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{32}{4} - \dfrac{11}{4} \\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{32 - 11}{4} \\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{21}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ x = 5\dfrac{1}{4}

The sum of two rational numbers is 8, if one of them is 2352\dfrac{3}{5}, the other number is 5145\dfrac{1}{4}.

Hence, option 3 is correct option.
