27 is divided into two parts such that the sum of their reciprocal is 3/20. Find the ratio between the numbers (5 : 4).

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let one number be x and the other number = (27 - x). The sum of their reciprocal = If one number = 12, other number = 27 - 12 = 15 If one number = 15, other number = 27 - 15 = 12 Ratio = 12 : 15 = 4 : 5 or 15 : 12 = 5 : 4 Hence, the ratio of two numbers = 5 : 4.
