- Question
- Divide 50 into two parts so that the sum of their reciprocals is 1/2.
Options- A. 28,22
- B. 35,15
- C. 20,30
- D. 24,36
- Correct Answer
- 20,30
ExplanationLet us assume the first part is A then second part will be 50 - A.
According to question,
Sum of their reciprocals is 1/2.
1/A + 1/(50 - A) = 1/12
? (50 - A + A)/(50 - A)A = 1/12
? (50)/(50 - A)A = 1/12
? (50) x 12 = 1 x (50 - A)A
? 600 = (50 - A)A
? 600 = 50A - A2
? A2 - 50A + 600 = 0
? A2 - 30A - 20A + 600 = 0
? A(A - 30) - 20(A - 30) = 0
? (A - 30)(A - 20) = 0
? (A - 30) = 0 or (A - 20) = 0
? A = 20 , 30 - 1.
