About number of posts in selected category

Question

I have lots of categories. And each category contains many images in posts.

I want to display '(current number of post)/(total number of posts in selected category)'

for example: 3/9
where 3 = current number of post 9 = total number of posts in selected category

There are so many categories and I do not want to write code for each category. Is there any way to solve it?

@wordpresser: There are 9 posts and out of which number 3 post is open. — Ninad More, Commented Aug 30, 2013 at 13:31
from your question, what I get is you need not to write code for each category, you can fetch categories as an array and then use foreach loop to calculate the posts for it. — Kumar, Commented Aug 30, 2013 at 13:31
I tried $category = get_queried_object(); echo $category->count; but not worked. I dont want to show only total number but also current post number. — Ninad More, Commented Aug 30, 2013 at 13:33
An important question - are you trying to display this information on archive or single view? — Michal Mau, Commented Aug 30, 2013 at 15:23

WP_Query has the following properties you might find handy:

$wp_query->current_post - Index of the post currently being displayed.

$wp_query->found_posts - The total number of posts found matching the current query parameters
