Question

Statement 1: The predecessor of a two digit number is never a single digit number.
Statement 2: The successor of a two digit number is always a two digit number.

Based on the given statements, choose the appropriate option.

• A. Both the statements are true.
• B. Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
• C. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.
• D. Both the statements are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both the statements are false.

The predecessor of two digit can be a single digit number.
For example, if we consider the two digit number as 10, then its predecessor is 9 which is a single digit number.
Therefore, statement 1 is false.

The successor of a two digit number can be a three digit number. For example, if we consider 99 as the two digit number, then its successor is 100 which is a three digit number.
Therefore, statement 2 is also false.

As both the statements 1 and 2 are false, option d is correct.
