Question : If the sum of two numbers is 60 and their HCF and LCM are 5 and 60, respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers will be:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{11}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{6}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{5}$
Solution : Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$. The sum of two numbers = 60 ⇒ $x+y=60$ HCF of the given numbers = 5 LCM of the given numbers = 60 We know that, Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF ⇒ $xy$ = LCM × HCF ⇒ $xy$ = 5 × 60 The required sum = $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{x+y}{xy}$ Putting the values, we get: = $\frac{60}{5 × 60}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{5}$.
