Answer:
a) true, this is because rational number is a wider term and natural number is part of that and we know that natural numbers are not irrational number so it 9s true.
b)false, rational number have niether starting nor any end.
c)true, 2.1 is also a rational number but it is not a whole number .
d)false, 1 is a rational number but it is not a fraction.
Answer:
1. True.
Every natural number is a rational number but a rational number need not be a natural number.
We know that, 1 = 1/1, 2 = 2/1, 3 = 3/1 and so on ……. .
In other words, every natural number n can be written as n = n/1, which is the quotient of two integers. Thus, every natural number is a rational number.
Clearly, 3/2, 2/5, 1/7, 15/20, etc. are rational numbers but they are not natural numbers.
Hence, every natural number is a rational number but a rational number need not be a natural number
2. False. 0 is not smallest no.
because example = 1,2,3,4, 0 ,-1,-2,-3,-4,-
samallest no. not defined
3. True, for example 1/2 is a rational number but not a whole no.
4. False .
example p/q form
rational no . 1,2,3,4 =0/1,0/2,etc
