Question

What will happen if we add 0 to any Rational number?

• A. The number remains the same.
• B. The number gets doubled.
• C. The number gets halved.
• D. The result will be 0.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The number remains the same.

Let's take a few examples to verify this.

$2+0=2$
$0+1=1$
$-\frac{3}{2}+0=$$-\frac{3}{2}$

We notice that adding zero to any Rational number gives the same Rational number.
