Question

Which of the following does not have a reciprocal?

• A. Proper fraction
• B. $0$
• C. $1$
• D. Mixed fraction

Answer 1

The correct option is B $0$

The product of a number and its reciprocal is $1$.
$\frac{3}{5}$ is an example of proper fraction and its reciprocal is $\frac{5}{3}$.

$2\frac{3}{5}$ is a mixed fraction and its fractional form is $\frac{13}{5}$, so the reciprocal is $\frac{5}{13}$.

The reciprocal of $1$ is $1.$
The number $0$ does not have a reciprocal. Because, if any reciprocal number is multiplied by $0$, it will not give the product as $1$. It will result in zero.
