Solution

The correct option is A True

The number zero 0 does not have a reciprocal. Because, if a reciprocal of zero exists then when we multiply that number by zero it should result in 1 because reciprocals are also multiplicative inverse but when we multiplied by 0, it will not give the product as 1. It will result in zero.

Hence, reciprocal of 0 does not exist.
