Question

State Whether The Following Statement Is True Or False. Every Rational Number Is A Whole Number.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Define Whole numbers and rational numbers.

• Whole Numbers are the Natural Numbers including ‘zero’. Whole numbers are represented by the symbol W.

Example:$0,1,2,3,.....$

• A number $‘s’$ is called rational, if it can be written in the form $\frac{p}{q}$. Example : $25,10,13,\frac{1}{2},-15...$

Whole numbers do not include negative numbers.

Therefore every whole number is a rational number but every rational number is not a whole number.

Hence the statement “ Every Rational Number Is A Whole Number.” is false.
