ASSERTION REASON
16. Assertion: Rational numbers include both integers and fractions.
Reason: Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are
integers, and q is not equal to zero. When q is equal to 1, the rational number becomes an integer.
Therefore, rational numbers encompass integers as well as fractions
a.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
b.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for
Assertion.
c.) assertion is true but the reason is false.
d.) both assertion and reason are false.
17. Assertion: The sum of two rational numbers is always a rational number.
Reason: When you add or subtract two rational numbers, you are essentially performing arithmetic
operations on fractions or integers. These operations result in a rational number because the
denominator remains an integer (not zero), ensuring that the result is also a rational number
a.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
b.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for
Assertion.
c.) assertion is true but the reason is false.
d.) both assertion and reason are false.
