Bill was walking in the ruins of “The Hall of Operations” where he found another ancient community hall. It was named The Negativus.

The behavior of this hall is similar to that of The Reciprocus in the sense that any occupant of the “House of Rational Numbers, Q” exit The Negativus as a different occupant, belonging to the same House.

Bill immediately came to the conclusion that, just like The Reciprocus did not allow The Oblivion, The Negativus also does not allow The Oblivion. Is Bill’s conclusion True or False?

Solution

The correct option is B
False

Recall that The Oblivion is the number zero. The negative of 0 is 0 itself and it is defined. Hence, there are no restrictions on the entry to The Negativus for any occupant of the House. This means, negatives are defined for ALL Rational Numbers.

Bill heard that in “The Hall of Operations”, there was another ancient temple, named “The Reciprocus”.

Legend says that when an occupant, say “a”, of the “House of Rational Numbers, Q” enters the temple, it exits the temple as a different occupant, “b”,belonging to the same house. Bill observed that, these occupants “a” and “b”, when they enter the hall of multiplication, they exit the hall as “1”.

Bill realized that the numerical counterparts of a and b (Earth 1) are ___________ of each other.

Bill heard that the two entries of the “Hall of Division” had special names – Numerator and Denominator. A special detector is installed at the entry “Denominator” so that it does not allow one specific occupant (referred to as “The Oblivion”) from the “House of Rational Numbers, Q”. When Bill enquired as to why the entry “Denominator” shows such strict regulations towards this particular occupant, he was told that the presence of The Oblivion at the “Denominator” entry could erase the entire Earth 2 from existence and that life on Earth 2 would become undefined.

Bill thought of giving “The Hall of Operations” a visit, after listening to these interesting behaviors of the halls towards occupants from different rooms and houses.

He happened to visit the Hall from the back door entry and he saw 4 huge stones, one against each of the 4 halls (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division). Each stone had engravings on it describing the hall against which it is erected.

On one such stone, the following was engraved

“This hall has been and forever will be commutative for EVERY occupant of the “House of Rational Numbers, Q””.

This stone could correspond to which of the four halls?

Bill understood the meaning of the engravings. He had a better idea of the nature of the occupants of “The House of Rational Numbers, Q”. He saw another stone which had the following message engraved:

"This hall would always be associative for any occupants of the "House of Rational Numbers, Q""

This stone could correspond to which of the four halls?

Bill heard that the temple, The Reciprocus, does not allow one occupant of the house to enter. Which occupant is that?
