उत्तर १
Let the two numbers be x and y.
According to the question,
x + y = 15
`\implies` y = 15 – x ...(i)
and `1/x + 1/y = 3/10`
`\implies 1/x + 1/(15 - x) = 3/10` ...(From (i))
`\implies (15 - x + x)/(x(15 - x)) = (3)/(10)`
`\implies` 15 × 10 = 3x(15 – x)
`\implies` 150 = 45x – 3x2
`\implies` 3x2 – 45x + 150 = 0
`\implies` x2 – 15x + 50 = 0
`\implies` x2 – 10x – 5x + 50 = 0
`\implies` x(x – 10) – 5(x – 10) = 0
`\implies` x – 10 = 0 or x – 5 = 0
`\implies` x = 10 or x = 5
Hence, the numbers are 10, 5.
उत्तर २
Let the required natural numbers be x and `(15-x)`
According to the given condition
`1/x+1/(15-x)=3/10`
⇒`(15-x+x)/(x(15-x))=3/10`
⇒`15/(15x-x^2)=3/10`
⇒`15x-x^2+50=0`
⇒`x^2-15x+50=0`
⇒`x^2-10x-5x+50=0`
⇒`x(x-10)-5(x-10)=0`
⇒`(x-5) (x-10)=0`
⇒`x-5=0 or x-10=0`
⇒`x=5 or x=10`
When `x=5`
`15-x=15-5=10`
When `x=10`
`15-x=15-10=5`
Hence, the required natural numbers are 5 and 10.
