Question

2 Vivek is years elder to
kishore. The sum of the reciprocal
of their age is 1/6. Find their
present ages

​

Answer 1

Answer:

age of Kishore =x years

So age of Vivek =2x years

reciprocal= 1/x and 1/2x

A/T/Q

1/x+1/2x =1/6

by L.C.M

2+1/2x=1/6

3/2x=1/6

18=2x. (by cross multiply)

x=18/2

x=9

so;

age of Kishore = 9years

age of Vivek =2x

=2×9

=18years
