Question

If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to:

A) 55/601 B) 601/55 C) 11/120 D) 120/11

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum =1a+1b = a+bab= 11/120

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum =1a+1b = a+bab= 11/120
