KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let the first number be x Since, the sum of two numbers is 8, so other number is 8 - x. Given, the difference of reciprocal of numbers = If x = 20 , 8 - x = -12 , Since both are natural numbers hence x ≠ 20. ∴ x = 3 , 8 - x = 5 Hence, the required natural numbers are 3 , 5.
