Question

If A = 0.142857142857 _____ and B = 0.16666 _____, then what is the value of (A + B)/AB?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

13

The repeating decimals are standard: \(A=0.\overline{142857}=\dfrac{1}{7}\) and \(B=0.1\overline{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}\).

Use the algebraic shortcut:

\[\frac{A+B}{AB}=\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}=7+6=13\]

Therefore the value is 13.
