Question 1

The sum of a proper fraction and its reciprocal is $$\frac{61}{30}$$. Find the fraction.

Solution

Let the fraction be $$x$$

According to ques,

=> $$x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{61}{30}$$

=> $$\frac{x^2+1}{x}=\frac{61}{30}$$

=> $$30x^2-61x+30=0$$

=> $$30x^2-36x-25x+30=0$$

=> $$6x(5x-6)-5(5x-6)=0$$

=> $$(6x-5)(5x-6)=0$$

=> $$x=\frac{5}{6},\frac{6}{5}$$

=> Ans - (B)
