Question

Subtraction of rational numbers is commutative. State whether the statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given that subtraction of rational numbers is commutative.

We have to determine if the given statement is true or false.

We know that the commutative property is known as changing the order of the operands doesn't change the result.

Let us consider two rational numbers $\mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{y}$,

then $\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}\ne \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}$

Hence, the commutative property is not true for the subtraction of rational numbers.

Therefore the given statement is false.
