Q:

Every rational number is an integer.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

Any integer 'i' can be written as i = i/1, which is a rational number. Clearly, 7/2,-5/4, etc... are rational numbers but they are not integers.


Hence, from the above analysis, every integer is a rational number but a rational number need not be an integer.


 


Therefore the given statement that 'Every rational number is an integer' is FALSE.

A) 2.741 kgs B) 2.956 kgs
C) 3.418 kgs D) 3.785 kgs
