Problem

If $a,b,c,d,e$ are positive numbers bounded by $p$ and $q$, i.e, if they lie in $[p,q], 0 < p$, prove that

\[(a \plus{} b \plus{} c \plus{} d \plus{} e)\left(\frac {1}{a} \plus{} \frac {1}{b} \plus{} \frac {1}{c} \plus{} \frac {1}{d} \plus{} \frac {1}{e}\right) \le 25 \plus{} 6\left(\sqrt {\frac {p}{q}} \minus{} \sqrt {\frac {q}{p}}\right)^2\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)

and determine when there is equality.
