Let the fraction be  x / y .  It is a proper fraction, hence y > x .
 
sum of denominator and numerator is 4 times the numerator :      x + y = 4x   or  y = 3x   .............................(1)
 
difference of numerator and denominator exceeds half of denominator by 3 :     y - x  = (y/2) + 3 .....................(2)
 
If we substitute y = 3x in eqn.(2),  we get,  3x - x = (3/2)x +3   or  x/2 = 3   or  x = 6  , hence y = 18
 
hence fraction is 6/18
