    The question does not make sense because of the “?”‘s !!

    Also, in general, you cannot be asked in the exam do use ‘both methods of reciprocal’ – both would result in the same answer and it does not matter which way you use in the exam.

    Surely anyway you have an answer in the same book in which you found the question!!
