Practicing Success
If x, y, z are three numbers such that $x+y=13, y+z=15$ and $z+x=16$, the value of $\frac{x y+x z}{x y z}$ is: |
$\frac{5}{36}$ $\frac{36}{5}$ $\frac{18}{5}$ $\frac{5}{18}$ |
$\frac{5}{18}$ |
$x+y=13, y+z=15$ and $z+x=16$ By adding all of these we get, x + y + y + z + z + x = 13 + 15 + 16 2(x + y + z) = 44 x + y + z = 22 x = 22 - 15 = 7 y = 22 - 16 = 6 x = 22 - 13 = 9 The value of $\frac{x y+x z}{x y z}$ = $\frac{7 × 6+7 × 9}{7 × 6 × 9}$ The value of $\frac{x y+x z}{x y z}$ = $\frac{105}{378}$ The value of $\frac{x y+x z}{x y z}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$ |
