1.	The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 5/2. Represent this, situation in the form of a quadratic equationA) x – 1/x = 5/2B) x + 1/x = 5/2C) x + √x = 5/2D) x2 1/x2 = 5/2
Answer» Correct option is (B) x + 1/x = 5/2 Let x be a number. Then its reciprocal is \(\frac1x.\) Given that sum of number and its reciprocal is \(\frac{5}{2}.\) \(\therefore\) \(x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{2}\) which represent the given situation. Correct option is B) x + 1/x = 5/2

The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 5/2. Represent this, situation in the form of a quadratic equationA) x – 1/x = 5/2B) x + 1/x = 5/2C) x + √x = 5/2D) x2 1/x2 = 5/2

Answer»

Correct option is (B) x + 1/x = 5/2

Let x be a number.

Then its reciprocal is \(\frac1x.\)

Given that sum of number and its reciprocal is \(\frac{5}{2}.\)

\(\therefore\) \(x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{2}\) which represent the given situation.

Correct option is B) x + 1/x = 5/2
