How to solve the problem by using calculus- local maxima and minima ?(By first derivative test)
I solved it but I can't find the local maximum and minimum points.

$F'(x) > 0$ is wrong for the interval $left( -frac1{sqrt{5}}, frac1{sqrt{5}}right)$. Try plugging in $x = frac1{10}$ for example.

Method $1$
As you have mentioned, by setting the 1st-order derivative equal to zero we attain to two points $$x=pm{1over 2sqrt 5}$$ Also $$f''(x)={10over x^3}$$since for $x={1over 2sqrt 5}$ we have $f''(x)>0$ therefore the point $left({1over 2sqrt 5},20sqrt 5right)$ is a local minimum. Similarly the point $left(-{1over 2sqrt 5},-20sqrt 5right)$ is a local maximum.
Method $2$
We have $$f(x)={5over x}+100x=10sqrt 5left({1over 2sqrt 5x}+2sqrt 5xright)ge 20sqrt 5$$where the equality happens if and only if $x={1over 2sqrt 5}$. Similarly for $x=-{1over 2sqrt 5}$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Why we get a local maximum point when f ''(X)<0 ?

In fact this follows directly from the Taylor expansion:$$f(x+x_0)=f(x)+f'(x)cdot x_0+{1over 2}x_0^2cdot f''(x)+o(x_0^2)$$where $o(.)$ is the famous little-o notation. Also we should have $f'(x)=0$ in local maximum to conclude that.
