The sum of the two numbers is 12 and their product is 35. What is the sum of the reciprocals of these numbers ?
Choose the correct answer.
A) 12/35  B) 24/32  C) 31/24  D) 12/26  E) 12/25
Let the numbers be a and b. Then, a + b = 12 and ab = 35.   a + b/ab = 12/35   1/b+ 1/a= 12/35   Sum of reciprocals of given numbers =12/35   12/35NSWER: 12/35
