Find the largest possible value of $ r $ less than 100 for which
\[
\frac{k}{9}+\frac{k}{10}=r
\]
where $ r, k $ are positive integers.
Given :
$\frac{k}{9}+\frac{k}{10}=r$
r and k are positive integers.
To find :
We have to find the largest possible value of r less than 100.
Solution :
$ \frac{k}{9} +\frac{k}{10} =r$
This implies,
$\frac{k\times 10+k\times 9}{9\times 10} =r$
$\frac{10k+9k}{90} =r$
$19k=90r$
$k=\frac{90}{19} r$
Given that r and k are positive integers.
Therefore, r should be a multiple of 19 for k to be a positive integer.
Multiples of 19 below 100 are 19,38,57,76 and 95.
This implies,
The largest possible value of r less than 100 is 95.
