Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The sum of two natural numbers is 9 and sum of their reciprocals is 9/20

To find:-

Find the number ?

Solution:-

Let the two natural numbers be X and Y

The sum of two natural numbers is 9

X+Y = 9 -------------------(1)

Reciprocal of X = 1/X

Reciprocal of Y = 1/Y

Sum of their reciprocals is 9/20

=> (1/X) +(1/Y) = 9/20

=> (Y+X)/(XY) = 9/20

=> (X+Y)/XY = 9/20

=> 9/XY = 9/20

(From (1))

On applying cross multiplication then

=> XY×9 = 9×20

=>9 XY = 180

=> XY = 180/9 = 20

XY = 20 ---------------(2)

we know that

(a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab

(X-Y)^2 = (X+Y)^2-4XY

From (1)&(2)

=> (X-Y)^2 = 9^2-4(20)

=>(X-Y)^2 = 81-80

=> (X-Y)^2 = 1

=> (X-Y)=±√1

=> (X-Y)=±1

X-Y=1 ------------------(3)

(on taking positive value since given numbers are natural numbers so -1 is not a natural number)

On adding (1)&(3) then

X+Y = 9

X-Y=1

(+)

________

2X+0 = 10

________

=> 2X = 10

=>X = 10/2

=> X = 5

From (1)

5+Y = 9

=> Y = 9-5

=> Y = 4

X = 5 and Y = 4

The number = 54

Answer:-

The required number for the given problem is 54

Check:-

Sum of the digits = 5+4=9

Reciprocal of 5 = 1/5

Reciprocal of 4 = 1/4

Their sum = (1/5)+(1/4)

LCM of 5 and 4 = 20

=> (4+5)/20

=> 9/20

Verified the given relations.

Used formula:-

  • (a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab
