Problem Statement

Prove that there exist distinct natural numbers m1,m2,,mkm_1,m_2, \cdots , m_k satisfying the conditions π1984<25(1m1+1m2++1mk)<π1960\pi^{-1984}<25-\left(\frac{1}{m_1}+\frac{1}{m_2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{m_k}\right)<\pi^{-1960} where π\pi is the ratio between a circle and its diameter.
