Correct Answer: $\frac{3}2$
Solution : Given: That $a+b=3$ and $a^{3} + b^{3} = 9$ We know that $(a+ b)^{3}=a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b)$ So, $a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b) = 27$ ⇒ $9 + 3ab(a + b) = 27$ ⇒ $3ab(3) = 27 - 9$ ⇒ $9ab=18$ ⇒ $ab=2$ So, $\frac{1}a+\frac{1}b= \frac{(a+b)}{ab}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{2}$.
