Choose the correct answer for the following:

The multiplicative inverse of 2^-4 is

Let a be the multiplicative inverse of 2^-4

⇒ 2^-4 × a = 1 (by definition of multiplicative inverse)

(∵ Reciprocal law: If ‘a’ is a real no. and m is a positive integer, then )

⇒ a = 2⁴

(A) doesn’t match the solution.

(B) doesn’t match the solution.
