86. The sum of two numbers is 36. Their HCF and LCM are 3 and 105, respectively. The sum of reciprocals of those two numbers will be

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : (C) Sum of two numbers = 36
    Let the two number be x and (36 - x)
    We know that,
    (x)(36 - x) = HCF × LCM of two numbers
    ⇒ x(36 - x) = 3 × 105
    ⇒ 36x - x2 = 315
    ⇒ x2 - 36x + 315 = 0
    ⇒ x2 - 21x - 15x + 315 = 0
    x(x - 21)-15(x - 21) = 0
    ⇒(x - 15)(x - 21) = 0
    ⇒x = 15, 21
    Two numbers are 15 and 21.

87. Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width is 36 m. Length of the garden will be

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : (A) Let the length of the rectangular garden be 'l' m.
    Then, breadth of the rectangular garden be (l - 4)m.
    Perimeter of rectangular garden = 2 (l + b)

    ⇒ 36 = l + l - 4 [half of perimeter given = 36 given]
    ⇒ 36 = 2l -4
    ⇒ 40 = 2l
    ⇒ l = 20 m
