Answer:

Let one number be x

Its reciprocal be 1/x

According to the question 

x + 1/x = 1 1/2

On taking lcm of the denominators

We get

(x^2 + 1)/x = 3/2

On rearranging the equation 

2x^2 +2 - 3x =0

2x^2 - 3x + 2 =0

As this cannot be solved, a sum of a number and its reciprocal cannot be 3/2
