If the sum of two numbers is 50 and the H.C.F and L.C.M of these numbers are 10 and 60. Then what will be the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers?
Answer: A. 1/12 — Let the numbers be a and b. Then, a + b = 50 and ab = 10 x 60 = 600. The required sum =1/a+1/b = a+b/ab= 50/600= 1/12

Correct answer: A
Let the numbers be a and b.
Then, a + b = 50 and ab = 10 x 60 = 600.
The required sum =1/a+1/b = a+b/ab= 50/600= 1/12
