Q:

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:

A) 55/601	B) 601/55
C) 11/120	D) 120/11

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/120

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum = $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}$ = $\frac{a + b}{a b}$ = $\frac{55}{600}$ = $\frac{11}{120}$
