Question

Raju told Shyam that any number divided by zero is undefined. Is the statement stated by Raju correct?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Consider the following example
6 $÷$ 2 means we are subtrating 2 from 6 repeatedly till we get 0
i.e 6-2 = 4
4 -2 = 2
2-2 = 0 and since we are subtracting 2 three times, we have 6 $÷$ 2 = 3
Now consider 6 $÷$ 0
We will subtract 0 from 6 repeatedly but we will get 6 as the answer and the process is never ending. Hence we can say that division by zero is not defined.
