Funny one (tricky too)!!!
We can also move as follows:
(a+b)/ab=11/24
Bifurcating these we will get (a/ab)+(b/ab)=11/24
Resulting as(1/b)+(1/a)=11/24
But however thanks to you is minimum appreciation.

The sum is 11 and the product is 24, so a equals 3. b equals 8.

Therefore, 1/a + 1/b = 1/3 + 1/8 = 11/24

The sum is 11 and the product is 24.

Answer 11/24
