Answer

Reciprocal of 23\dfrac{2}{3} = 32\dfrac{3}{2}

We need to find the sum of 23\dfrac{2}{3} and 32\dfrac{3}{2}

23+32\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{3}{2}

LCM of 3 and 2 is 2 x 3 = 6

2×23×2+3×32×3=46+96=4+96=136=216\dfrac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} + \dfrac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 3}\\[1em] = \dfrac{4}{6} + \dfrac{9}{6}\\[1em] = \dfrac{4 + 9}{6}\\[1em] = \dfrac{13}{6}\\[1em] = 2\dfrac{1}{6}

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
