This question was previously asked in
OTET 2026 Social Studies Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

$\frac{1}{6}$ more

Multiplicative inverse of 2 = 1/2. Multiplicative inverse of 3 = 1/3. Difference = 1/2 - 1/3 = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6. Since 1/2 > 1/3, the multiplicative inverse of 2 is 1/6 more than that of 3. Hence option (B) is correct.
