A
$\frac{1}{15}$
B
$-\frac{1}{15}$
✓
$15$
D
$-15$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15$
$(3^{-1}\times5^{-1})^{-1}$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{5}\Big)^{-1}$ $\Big(\text{As},\text{x}^{-1}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{15}\Big)^{-1}$
$=\frac{15}{1}$ $\Big(\text{As},\text{x}^{-1}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
$=15$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$
