Solution

The correct option is B False

Use the definition of rational and whole numbers

A rational number is any number that can be expressed in the form of pq, where both p and q are integers provided q0. Whereas, a whole number is a positive number without a decimal or fractions.

Every rational number may or may not be a whole number.

For example:

22 is both rational number and whole number, because 22=1

12 is rational number but not whole number because 12=0.5 which is a decimal number.

Hence, given statement is False.
