For a complete extended b-metric space with continuous mapping satisfying the rational type contractive condition, a distinctive common fixed point theorem is established. Our outcome is the extension of several results available in the literature, from metric space to extended b-metric space. In specific, Dass and Gupta[Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 6, 1455–1458 (1975)], Jaggi[Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 8, 223–230 (1977)], Alqahtani et.al.[J. Inequal. Appl. Paper No. 220, 11 pp (2019)] and even the well-known Banach contraction mapping theory are extracted. A proper example is also given in sustenance of it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
