Question

$0$ is the __________ identify for whole numbers, whereas $1$ is the ___________ identify for whole numbers.

• A. Additive, Multiplicative
• B. Multiplicative, Additive
• C. Commutative, Additive
• D. Positive, Not-defined

Answer 1

The correct option is A Additive, Multiplicative

When $0$ is added to any given whole number, the resultant number is the given whole number itself. This shows that $0$ is additive identity for whole number.

When $1$ is multiplied to any whole number, the resultant number is the number itself.

Here $0$ and $1$ are not making any change to the number.

Hence option A is correct.
