    Let the number be a and b Then
    a + b = 10 ..........(i)
    ab = 20 ........(ii)

    Sum of reciprocal = 1/a + 1/b
    = (a + b) / ab

    Correct Option: C

    Let the number be a and b Then
    a + b = 10 ..........(i)
    ab = 20 ........(ii)

    Sum of reciprocal = 1/a + 1/b
    = (a + b) / ab
    = 10/20
    = 1/2

    The number of pieces of chocolate left with manju =1- [(1/4) + (1/3) + (1/6)]

    Correct Option: C

    the number of pieces of chocolate left with manju =1- [(1/4) + (1/3) + (1/6)]
    = 1 - [ (3 + 4 + 2)/12)
    = 1 - (9/12)
    = 3/12
    Hence number of piece of chocolate left with in manju is 3
