As we know,

Power absorbed P=VIcos\phi

Where \phi is the phase difference between voltage and current.

\phi for the inductive circuit is -90 degree and \phi for the capacitive circuit is +90 degree.

In both cases (inductive and capacitive), the power absorbed by the circuit is zero because in both cases the phase difference between current and voltage is 90 degree.

This can be seen as The elements(Inductor and Capacitor)  are not absorbing the power, rather storing it. The capacitor is storing energy in electrostatic form and Inductor is storing the energy in magnetic form.
