The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which one of the following statements is not correct?", we need to analyze the given statements regarding rational and irrational numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Rational and Irrational Numbers**: - Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0 \). Examples include \( \frac{2}{3} \), \( \frac{6}{5} \), and integers like \( 2 \) and \( 3 \) (which can be written as \( \frac{2}{1} \) and \( \frac{3}{1} \)). - Irrational numbers cannot be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \). Examples include \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \pi \), and \( e \). 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: If \( a \) is a rational number and \( b \) is an irrational number, then \( \frac{a}{b} \) is irrational. - This statement is **correct**. Dividing a rational number by an irrational number results in an irrational number. - **Statement 2**: The product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is irrational. - This statement is also **correct**. Multiplying a non-zero rational number by an irrational number yields an irrational number. - **Statement 3**: The addition of any two irrational numbers can be an integer. - This statement is **not correct**. For example, \( \pi + \sqrt{2} \) is irrational, and there are many combinations of irrational numbers that do not yield an integer. - **Statement 4**: The division of any two integers is an integer. - This statement is **not correct** as well. For example, \( \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \), which is not an integer. 3. **Conclusion**: - The statements that are not correct are Statements 3 and 4. However, since the question asks for one statement that is not correct, we can conclude that Statement 3 is the most commonly misunderstood one. ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct is: "The addition of any two irrational numbers can be an integer."
