Here is the command with JDK path in linux

[oracle@bpm01 OPatch]$ ./opatch lsinventory -jdk /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_75

OPatch Version : 13.2.0.0.0
  OUI  Version : 12.1.0.1.0
The OPatch version is not applicable for current OUI version.

Since OUI Version starts with 12.1, Please go to 'My Oracle Support' and get right OPatch 12.1.*.*.* based on patch 6880880, release version 12.1.0.0.0 and appropriate platform.
 I hope it could be helpful if someone faces this issue.
