Solution

The correct option is B False

Let us take any two whole numbers, 0and5
By adding of both the numbers we get 0+5=5.
By product of both the numbers we get 0×5=0
But 0 is less than by 5 , which means product of numbers is less than addition of numbers.
Now also, take any other two whole numbers 2and3 By adding of both the numbers we get 2+3=5. By product of both the numbers we get 2×3=6
But 6 is more than by 5 , which means product of numbers is less than addition of numbers.

Thus, sum of two whole numbers is not always less than their product,

Hence, the given statement is false.
