Solution :
Two number difference is 5 and there opposite number difference is 1/10.
The number .
Let the one number be r
Let the other number be m
A/q
&
Putting the value of r in equation (1),we get;
Putting the value of m in equation (2),we get;
Thus;

The difference between two numbers is 5 and the difference between the reciprocal of the two numbers is 10 .
Then, find the numbers .

Let the given numbers be x and y respectively .
In the above Question , we have the following information given -
The difference between two numbers is 5 and the difference between the reciprocal of the two numbers is 10 .
So, We can use this to form the following equations -
x - y = 5 ........ ( 1 )
( 1 / x ) + ( 1 / y ) = 10
=> (x + y ) / xy = 10 . ...... ( 2 )
From equation 1,
x - y = 5
=> x = 5 + y
Substuting this value in the second Equation -
(x - y ) / xy = 10
=> Substitute x = y + 5
=> y^2 - 5y - 50 = 0
=> y^2 - 10y + 5y - 50 = 0
=> y ( y - 10 ) + 5 ( y - 10 ) = 0
=> (y - 10 )( y + 5 ) = 0
Hence, the value of y can be either 10 or -5
But y = -5 is not possible .
Now ,.
If y = 10, x = 5
Hence , the required numbers are 5 and 10 respectively ...
