Solution

The correct option is B False

Let a==2; b=3

then,1a =12; 1b=13

Convert 12and 13into like like fractions by obtaining L.C.M of their denominators,we get

L.C.M of 2 and 3=6

12=1×32×3=36

13=1×23×2=26

It is clear that 26<36

12< 13 or 1a<1b

Thus, If a>b then 1a>1b is the incorrect statement.
