Question

find a positive number which when increased by 17 is eqal to 60 times reciprocal of the number ???

Answer 1

Answer:

ans 3

Explanation:

If the number is x,

Then, x + 17 = 60/x

x2 + 17x - 60 = 0

(x + 20)(x - 3) = 0

x = 3, -20, so x = 3 (as 3 is positive)

Answer 2

Answer:

3

assume the number to be "x"

then, x+17 = 60(1/x)

on solving, x= 3 or -20... positive number is 3
