B) F0.05, 10, 20 = 1/F0.05, 20, 10
C) F0.05, 10, 20 = 1/F0.95, 20, 10
D) F0.95, 10,20 = 1/F0.95, 10, 20

The F distribution is not symmetric, so the reciprocal of a certain F value does not equal the F value itself. However, the reciprocal of a certain proportion of F values equals the proportion of the reciprocal F values. Specifically, Fα,ν1,ν2 = 1/F1-α,ν2,ν1. Therefore, F0.05,10,20 = 1/F0.95,20,10.
