The correct answer is:
2010
By inspection of binary operation $(*)$ over;
$$
\mathrm{a} * \mathrm{~b}=\frac{\mathrm{ab}}{2010}, \forall \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \in \mathrm{Q}^{+}
$$
2010 is the identity element.
And also we know that, the inverse of identity element is itself identity element.
Hence, inverse of $2010=2010$
$$
\mathrm{a} * \mathrm{~b}=\frac{\mathrm{ab}}{2010}, \forall \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \in \mathrm{Q}^{+}
