• A. Only (i) is true
• B. Only (ii) is true
• C. Both (i) & (ii) are true
• D. Both (i) & (ii) are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both (i) & (ii) are true

Take a number 6
Factors of 6:
1 × 6
2 × 3

1 and 6 i.e. the number itself are the factors of 6.

More examples:
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4 and 8
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5 and 15

So, both the statements are true.
