Question

If x + 1/x is defined, which must be true?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

x ≠ 0

The expression \(x + \frac{1}{x}\) contains a term with x in the denominator.

Division by zero is undefined, so this expression is defined only when \(x \neq 0\).

The value of x can otherwise be any real number, so the only necessary condition is \(x \neq 0\).
