When I was in grade 6^th, all I liked was playing around. I wanted to learn everything but in an interesting way. I had an inclination towards numbers, because it was the only thing with which you can never get bored. There are so many tricks and riddles that apply the basic concepts on numbers and give your mind a great walk.

Solution

The correct option is B Our observation is correct, natural numbers starts with 1 whereas whole number starts with 0.
Natural number are the ones which starts with 1,2,3.... and goes on whereas the set of whole numbers start with 0, 1,2,3.... and goes on. The only difference in their set is the number 0, whole numbers have 0 and natural numbers do not. Natural numbers are also called counting numbers as they are the most commonly used numbers in our daily life, counting starts with the number 1. The set of both natural and whole number does not contain negative numbers, they are a set of non negative numbers.

'Yes, that is right. Who told the answer??' you asked. When the dwarf who answered the question came forward, everybody gasped with surprise except the fellow mathematicians who became even angrier. When you asked his name, he told that his name was Shubhlin. He was the one who asked that question. Then you told, 'I am from India. The digit 0 was invented by the great Aryabhata in my country.

Q. Our Weight Together
A frog was struggling to escape from the mouth of a crow. How can I escape? — the frog thought. Suddenly a trick came to his mind. He asked the crow — Are you good at arithmetic? If yes, then I will ask you a problem.

Your weight is 650 g and I am only 145 g. How much do we weigh together?

The crow was good at mathematics, so he sappily opened his beak to answer.
What happened after that? So what was the answer the crow wanted to give? ___________

Knowing the location of 0, you started to connect the dots in your mind. Everything started to make sense now. Everything was planned brilliantly. -1 started the fight, not because it liked 0 but because it wanted to become the king. In the world of integers, it has been nobody just like number 1, but in the world of negative integers, it would become king, if and only if 0 was removed from the picture somehow. So, it constructed the wall with 0 inside it, without anybody knowing about it.....

The only way to show the truth is to break the wall. So you, along with your friend -13 and some others, break the wall at night. And there it is!!!!!! You found 0. The moment 0 came, the number line was restored to its proper order-
