Question

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

Reciprocal of $\frac{- 3}{4}$ is

(a) $\frac{3}{4}$ (b) $\frac{4}{3}$ (c) $\frac{- 4}{3}$ (d) None of these

Open in App

Solution

We know that the reciprocal of the rational number $\frac{a}{b}$ is ${(\frac{a}{b})}^{- 1} = \frac{b}{a}$ .

∴ Reciprocal of $\frac{- 3}{4}$

$= {(\frac{- 3}{4})}^{- 1} = \frac{4}{- 3} = \frac{4 \times (- 1)}{- 3 \times (- 1)} = \frac{- 4}{3}$

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
