|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: LET the required natural NUMBER be 'x' According to the given CONDITION , x+12= 160(1/x) x+12= 160/x x²+12x=160................... [ Multiplying throughout by x] x²+12x-160=0 x² +20x-8x-160=0 ............. [ By factorization] x(x+20) -8(x+20)=0 (x-8)(x+20) =0 x-8=0 or x+20=0 x=8 or x= -20 Since, Natural numbers are ALWAYS positive as they start from 1 x=8 The required natural number is 8 |
