why is that the elements like gold and silver which are least reactive in the reactivity series are the best conductors of electricity

Dear Madhu,

Gold and silver as they are least in the reactivity series, then also they are the good conductors of electricity , because they have maximum number of free electrons, and as you know free electrons i.e ions they are the source of conductivity, therefore all these metals are the good conductor of electricity.
