Solution:
Given,
$\frac{1}{a} +\frac{1}{b} =\frac{1}{a+b}$
$\frac{a+b}{ab} =\frac{1}{a+b}$
$\frac{(a+b)^2}{a} =\frac{a+b}{a+b}$
$\frac{a^2+b^2+2ab}{ab} =1$
$a^2+b^2+2ab = ab$
$a^2+b^2 = ab - 2ab$
$a^2+b^2 = -ab$
as $a^2+b^2 > 0$ as a ,b are positive reals
So, positive real numbers will have positive squares so this can not be possible.
hence , $n$ would have No Real Positive Values.
