MCQ
Multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is:
  • A
    A positive rational number.
  • A negative rational number.
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
A negative rational number.

 We know that, the product of two rational numbers is $1,$ taken they are multiplication inverse of each other, e.g.
Suppose, $p $ is negative rational number, i.e.
$\frac{1}{\text{p}}$ is the multiplicative inverse of $-p,$
Then, $-\text{p}\times\frac{1}{-\text{p}}= 1$
Hence, multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is a negative rational number.
