Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{52}$
Solution : Let the two numbers be $a$ and $b$. According to the question, ⇒ $a + b$ = 65 and $\sqrt{ab}$ = 26 So, $ab$ = 26 × 26 = 676 Now, the sum of reciprocals = $\frac{1}{a}$ + $\frac{1}{b}$ = $\frac{b+a}{ab}$ = $\frac{65}{676}$= $\frac{5}{52}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{52}$.
