The difference and the product of two numbers are 5 and 36 respectively. Then the difference of their reciprocals is

Correct option is A

We are given that x - y = 5 and x.y = 36.
The difference of the reciprocals is:
|(1/y) - (1/x)| = |(x - y) / (x.y)|
Substitute the given values:
= |5 / 36| = 5/36
Therefore, the answer is (a) 5/36.
