Q. If the sum of two numbers is 12 and their product is 35, then what will be the sum of their reciprocals?
✅ Correct Answer: (A)
12/35
Explanation: Suppose the numbers are P and Q
So, according to the question -
P + Q = 12
P * Q = 35
Sum of reciprocals of P and Q is = 1/P + 1/Q
= Q + P/PQ
= 12/35
So, according to the question -
P + Q = 12
P * Q = 35
Sum of reciprocals of P and Q is = 1/P + 1/Q
= Q + P/PQ
= 12/35
