Question

The result obtained by subtracting a fraction from another fraction is necessarily a fraction .

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

When we subtract two fractions, then the result may or may not be a fraction.

For example : If we take $\frac{5}{4}\text{and}\frac{1}{4}$ and subtract them we get

$\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5-1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

Here $1$ is not a fraction.

Hence, the given statement is a false statement .
