Answer 2

$\huge {\underline {\underline {\mathfrak {Answer}}}}$

Let the number be 'x' and its reciprocal be '1/x'.

According to the question,

$x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{2} \\ = > \frac{ {x}^{2} + 1 }{x} = \frac{5}{2} \\ = > 2( {x}^{2} + 1) = 5x \\ = > 2 {x}^{2} + 2 = 5x \\ = > 2 {x}^{2} - 5x + 2 = 0$
