Amar Kumar answered
Integers include 0 and the opposites (negatives) of natural numbers, and whole numbers include 0 while natural numbers do not. The result is that natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers which are in turn a subset of integers which you correctly categorized as a subset of rational numbers.

What is the additive identity element of 24?

    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mansi mehta answered
The correct option is C 0.0
An element, which when added to a given element, leaves the given element unchanged, is called its additive identity.
Zero is the additive identity for all the real numbers.
For example, 24+0=24.

Which property is represented by a + b = c (a whole number) with respect to addition?
  • a)
    Associative property.
  • b)
    Commutative property.
  • c)
    Closure property.
  • d)
    Additive identity.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Komal patil answered
Closure Property: The closure property means that a set is closed for some mathematical operation. For example, the set of even natural numbers, [2, 4, 6, 8, . . .], is closed with respect to addition because the sum of any two of them is another even natural number, which is also a member of the set.

Shubham Gupta answered
Explanation:


The statement "Every natural number is a whole number" is true. Let's understand why by exploring the definitions of natural numbers and whole numbers.

Natural Numbers:


Natural numbers are the counting numbers that start from 1 and go on infinitely. They are also known as positive integers. In other words, natural numbers are the numbers we use for counting or ordering objects. The set of natural numbers is denoted by N.

Whole Numbers:


Whole numbers are the numbers that include zero along with the natural numbers. They are obtained by adding zero to the set of natural numbers. The set of whole numbers is denoted by W.

Understanding the Statements:


a) Every whole number is a natural number.
This statement is false. While every natural number is a whole number, not every whole number is a natural number. Whole numbers include zero, which is not a natural number.

b) Every natural number is a whole number.
This statement is true. Since whole numbers include zero along with the natural numbers, every natural number is also a whole number.

c) 1 is the least whole number.
This statement is false. Zero is the least whole number because it is the starting point of the set of whole numbers.

d) 0 is the greatest whole number.
This statement is false. Whole numbers go on infinitely, so there is no greatest whole number. Zero is the starting point of whole numbers, but there is no end or greatest whole number.

Conclusion:


Based on the definitions of natural numbers and whole numbers, the true statement is that every natural number is a whole number (option B).

The value of (93 × 63 + 93 × 37) is
  • a)
    9300
  • b)
    93000
  • c)
    none of these
  • d)
    930
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Expression
The expression we need to evaluate is (93 × 63 + 93 × 37). This can be simplified using the distributive property of multiplication.
Applying the Distributive Property
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. We can factor out the common term (93) from both parts of the expression:
- 93 × (63 + 37)
Calculating the Sum Inside the Parentheses
Next, we calculate the sum inside the parentheses:
- 63 + 37 = 100
Substituting Back into the Expression
Now, we substitute this sum back into our expression:
- 93 × (100)
Final Calculation
Finally, we multiply:
- 93 × 100 = 9300
Conclusion
Thus, the value of (93 × 63 + 93 × 37) is 9300. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Understanding Successors
The concept of a successor in mathematics refers to the number that comes directly after a given number. In this case, we are looking for the successor of the number 100199.
Finding the Successor
To find the successor:
- Add 1 to the number: The rule for finding a successor is simple. You just need to add 1 to the number in question.
- Calculation:
- 100199 + 1 = 100200
Thus, the successor of 100199 is 100200.
Options Analysis
Let's analyze the provided options to confirm the correct answer:
- Option a: 100199 - This is the original number, not the successor.
- Option b: 100200 - This is the correct answer, as it is the result of adding 1 to 100199.
- Option c: 101000 - This number is significantly larger and not the direct successor.
- Option d: none of these - This is incorrect as we have identified the correct successor.
Conclusion
The correct answer is indeed option 'B', which is 100200. By understanding the concept of successors and applying the simple addition rule, we can easily determine the number that follows any given integer.

Palak Nambiar answered
Understanding the Range
To find the number of whole numbers between 22 and 54, we first need to clarify what "between" means in this context. We are looking for whole numbers that are greater than 22 and less than 54.
Identifying Whole Numbers
The whole numbers between 22 and 54 include:
- 23
- 24
- 25
- ...
- 53
Counting the Whole Numbers
To count these numbers, we can use the formula for counting integers in a range:
1. Identify the starting point and endpoint:
- Starting point: 23 (the first whole number greater than 22)
- Endpoint: 53 (the last whole number less than 54)
2. Count the total numbers:
- The formula for counting whole numbers between two numbers is:
(Endpoint - Starting point) + 1
- Plugging in our numbers:
(53 - 23) + 1 = 30 + 1 = 31
Conclusion
Thus, the total number of whole numbers between 22 and 54 is 31. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.
This approach shows how to systematically find the count of numbers in a given range, ensuring clarity and accuracy in the solution.

Get Idea answered
Whole numbers are non-negative integers (e.g., 0, 1, 2, ...).
  • For option A: 13 - 21 = -8, which is not a whole number. Therefore, statement A is true.
  • Option B: 21 × 1 = 21 and 21 × 0 = 0. Since 21 ≠ 0, statement B is false.
  • Option C: 21 - 13 = 8, which is a whole number. Therefore, statement C is false.
  • Option D:
    • Left side: 21 - (13 - 5) = 21 - 8 = 13;
    • Right side: (21 - 13) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3.
    Since 13 ≠ 3, statement D is false.
Thus, the correct answer is A.
