However B cannot be true

B) $\(\frac{1}{2}>\frac{1}{x}\)$

- Since $\(0<x<\frac{1}{2}\)$, let's consider the reciprocal of $x$.

- If $\(x<\frac{1}{2}\)$, then $\(\frac{1}{x}>\frac{1}{1 / 2}\)$, which means $\(\frac{1}{x}>2\)$.

- The statement is $\(\frac{1}{2}>\frac{1}{x}\)$. Since $\(\frac{1}{x}\)$ is greater than $\(2, \frac{1}{2}\)$ cannot be greater than $\(\frac{1}{x}\)$.

- This statement is False.
