If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to:
55
601
601
55
11
120
120
11
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum = 1 + 1 = a + b = 55 = 11
a b ab 600 120
