Solution

The correct option is B

(i), (ii)


Any rational number can be expressed in the form of pq. So, every whole number 0, 1, 2, 3.....so on, can be expressed in the form of a rational number by taking 1 as the denominator[01, 11, 21]. For integers, ...... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,..... we can take 1 as the denominator and they can be expressed in the form of a rational number[21,11, 01,11,21]. Hence, (i) and (ii) are correct.
