(3) Between two natural numbers, there is always a natural number. Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
(a) None
(b) Only 1
(C) 1 and 2
(d) 2 and 3​

Answer 1

B is the answer as the smallest natural number and is 1

Answer 2

Answer:

b)Only 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The is answer is option b) because there is only one smallest natural no.i.e 1 and there exists no largest natural no. because natural nos. tend to go on for infinity.

Even if considered the third condition

Lets take no. 1 and 2. one can make an argument that there are nos. like 1.2 1.5 but it would too be considered wrong because 1.2 or 1.6 are not natural nos. Therefore only b) satisfies the condition.
