Question

Natural number are closed under subtraction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Check if the given statement is true or false:

The closure property tells that if we perform a certain operation on a certain type of number then the resultant number should be of the same type.

Ex.: $3-5=-2$

From the above example, we can clearly see that by subtracting two natural numbers we are getting a negative integer.

It means natural numbers are not closed under subtraction.

Hence, the given statement is false.
