A. 1 - Mark Questions (8 Questions)
B. Assertion & Reasoning Questions (2 questions)
Choose the correct option.
(a) Both A and R are correct; R explains A
(b) Both A and R are correct; R does not explain A
(c) A is correct, R is incorrect
(d) A is incorrect, R is correct
9. Assertion (A): Zero is a rational number.
Reason (R): Each rational number is a quotient of any two
Integers while its divisor should not be zero. Thus, a number of
the form p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0 is a
rational number.
10. Assertion (A): The product of any two rational numbers is always
a rational number .
Reason (R): The product of two rational number can never be
an integer.
