If the product of two numbers is 1, the numbers are said to be the multiplicative inverses or reciprocals of each other. To find the multiplicative inverse of a proper or improper fraction, swap the numerator and denominator. For example, the multiplicative inverse of a fraction

Now the product of fractions

and its multiplicative inverse

are as follows:
Thus, the Options product of a fraction and its multiplicative reciprocal is 2.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
