Question

p and q are whole numbers such that p=q then which of the following
a)p+q=p b)p+q=q​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both are true

Because

p=0

q=0

Step-by-step explanation:

a---

p+q =p

q = p-p

q =0

b---

p+q =q

p=q-q

p=0

Answer 2

for p = 0, q = 0 both are true

Step-by-step explanation:

By solving (a) & (b), we can find the value of p & q

a) p + q = p

[transport p to RHS]

=> q = p - p

=> q = 0

b) p + q = q

[transport q to RHS]

=> p = q - q

=> p = 0

So,

the value of p = 0 = q, and 0 is a whole number also. so, both will be true.

hope it helps.
