Verbal Reasoning - Mental Ability Questions

The product of a number and its reciprocal is always equals to 1.

For Example : Let the number be 4.

Now, its reciprocal is 1/4

Hence, required product = 4 x 1/4 = 1.

Now, take the number as -15.

Then its reciprocal is -1/15

Required product = -15 x -1/15 = 1.

Hence, the product of a number and its reciprocal is 1.

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.

1 Gallon = 3.785 kgs

Gallon is a unit of measurement of liquid.

We know that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters

But we know that,

1 cubic meter = 1000 lit or 1000 kgs

=> 1 lit = 1 kg

Hence,  1 gallon = 3.785 lit = 3.785 kgs.
