Question

Assertion: Addition of 0 (zero) to a whole number, or to an integer or to a rational number the sum is again that number. When we multiply any rational number with 1, we get back that rational number as the product. Reason: The multiplicative identity element for the whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers is one and the additive identity element for the whole numbers, integers and rational numbers is zéro.
a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
c) Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.
d) Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
e) Both assertion and reason are incorrect​

Answer 1

Answer:

Additive identity: Zero is the additive identity for Rational, natural, whole numbers and integers, since adding it to them does not change the result. Hence, 0 + a = a + 0 = a, where a can be rational number or natural number or whole number of integer.
