Surit Datta 10 years AGO

one number is 9
another number is 4
so 9 + 1/4 = 37/4
so option 5
that's it.

sheikh shahrukh 10 years AGO

x+1/y=37/4
or
(xy+1)/y=37/4
so only x=9 and y=4 satisfy this......
so x+y=13
13 is the answer

Supriya Mondal 10 years AGO

One integer is 9
And another integer is 4
Inverse of the second integer is 1/4
So sum of these=9+(1/4)=37/4
So, ans will be (9+4)=13
So, option 5)13 is the right answer

nitin kishore 10 years AGO

Let the first integer be X and the second integer be Y.
Then,
X+(1/Y) =37/4
((X*Y)+1)/Y =37/4
It will satisfy the above equation when the values of X and Y are 9 and 4 respectively.
so, the sum of the integers will be, 9+4=13

Piyush Kumar 10 years AGO

let x and y is the two integers
hence
x+1/y =37/4
this shows that y must be 4,since x and y is an integer
hence x+1/4=37/4
x=9
so sum of integers will be 13
option 5

praveen kumar 10 years AGO

let 1st integerbe x and second integer be y
and their sum is 37/4

If two integers are x & y, then
x+ (1/y) =37/4
4xy + 4 =37y or y(37 - 4x) =4
Above condit satisfies for x=9, y=4
So sum of the integers are x+y=9+4=13

shovan Manna 10 years AGO

x+1/y=(xy+1)/y
now we can write 37/4 as (4*9+1)/4
so by comparing we get ,
y=4,and x=9. so the sum of the no. will be (9+4)=13

SAKTHEESVARI S 10 years AGO

let,positive integer is x; inverse of another positive integer is 1/y; sum of both is, x+(1/y)= 37/4;
by solving, we get,(xy+1)/y=37/4; i.e, y=4;
xy+1=37=>xy=36;x=9;
sum of integer is,x+y=9+4=13

Let x be the one integer;(1/y) be the inverse of another integer
then x+(1/y)=37/4;
(xy+1)/y=37/4;
(i.e) y should be equal to 4 then,the value of x is 9
9+(1/4)=37/4

a + (1/b) = (37/4)
37/4 = 9.25
0.25 can be written as (1/4) i.e. 9 + (1/4)
a + (1/b) = 9 + (1/4)
Hence, a = 9 and b=4
a+b = 9+4 = 13

Arvind gupta 10 years AGO

as both the numbers are integers and let x and y
now x+1/y=37/4
so the y must be 4 for the sum with denominator to be 4 as y and x are integers
hence y=4
therefor x+1/4=37/4
=> x=9
hence x+y=13
9+1/4=37/4
therefor
9+4=13

x+(1/y)=37/4
so,if we can add any 2 no's one will be normal and another one is inverse we get inverse term denominator. Eg: 6+1/2=13/2.
similarly I take Y=4 because the answer is 37/4.
X+(1/4)=37/4
X=(37-1)/4=9
so X=9; Y=4
X+Y=9+4=13. so the option 5 is correct.

Bathula Tejesh 10 years AGO

x+(1/y)=(37/4)
(xy+1)/y=(37/4)
therefore the denominator y=4
then to become the value of (xy+1)=34. we know the value of y is 4
therefore ((9*4)+1)=37
there the integers are 4,9
the sum of the integers is 4+9=13
hence option:-5 is correct
