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:
Answer: Option C
 - Let the numbers be a and b.
Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.
The required sum = 1 + 1 = a + b = 55 = 11 a b ab 600 120
