Question

The sum and product of two numbers are 12 and 35 respectively. The sum of their reciprocals will be ?

Answer 1

let two number is x and y
x+y=12
xy=35
then the sum
1/x+1/y
y+x/xy
now putting the values
12/35 will be answer mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

The sum of their reciprocals is 12 / 35.

Given: The sum of two numbers is 12 and the product of two numbers is 35

To Find: The sum of their reciprocals

Solution:

Let the two numbers be p and q.

So, as per given conditions, p + q = 12 and pq = 35

So, we need to calculate, 1/p + 1/q

∴ 1/p + 1/q = ( p + q ) / pq

                  = 12 / 35

Hence, the sum of their reciprocals is 12 / 35.
