Solution:-
Let the one number be 'x'
So, its reciprocal will be 1/x
Now, according to the question.
x + 1/x = 61/30
(x² + 1)/x = 61/30 after cross multiplying, we get
30x² + 30 = 61x
30x² - 61x + 30 = 0
30x² - 36x - 25x + 30 = 0
6x(5x - 6) - 5(5x - 6) = 0
(6x - 5) (5x - 6) = 0
6x = 5
x = 5/6
And,
5x = 6
x = 6/5
So, the numbers are 5/6 and 6/5
