Question

A natural number, when increased by 10, equals 200 times its reciprocal. Find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the positive number be N.

According to the question,

N + 10 = 200 / N

⇒ N2 + 10N = 200

⇒ N2 +10N - 200 =0

⇒ (N - 10)(N + 20) = 0

∴ N = 10 & N= -20

But N not equal to -20 since N is a positive number

So, the required number is 10

Answer 2

Answer:

♧ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ♧

Let the Natural number be X.

According to the questions

X+10 = 200/X

=> X² + 10X = 200

=> X² + 10X - 200 = 0

=> (X-10) (X+20) = 0

Therefore X = 10 & X = -20

but, X not equal to -20 since, X is a natural number.

so, the required number is 10 (Answer).
