Question : If the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 2. Then the number is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: Sum of a number and its reciprocal is 2 Let the first and second numbers be $x$ and $\frac{1}{x}$. $x+\frac{1}{x} =2$ ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x}) ^{2}=2^{2}$ ⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}+2= 4$ ⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}} = 2$ ⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}} –2=0$ ⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x}) ^{2}=0$ ⇒ $x^{2}=1$ $\therefore x=1$ Hence, the correct

Option 2: $157 \frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $155$
Option 4: $159 \frac{1}{2}$
Correct Answer: $157 \frac{1}{2}$
