**Problem Statement:**

Consider a continuous random variable \( X \) with probability density function (p.d.f.) given by:

\[ 
f(x) = 
  \begin{cases} 
    5x^{-6}, & \text{for } x > 1 \\
    0, & \text{otherwise.}
  \end{cases}
\]

Suppose \( Y = \frac{1}{X} \).

**Tasks:**

(a) Determine the cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of \( Y \), denoted as \( G(y) \).

(b) Find the probability density function (p.d.f.) of \( Y \).
