The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given: **Statement A:** The product of an integer and a rational number can never be a natural number. **Statement B:** The quotient of the division of an integer by a rational number can never be an integer. We will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement A 1. **Choose an integer and a rational number.** Let's take the integer \(4\) and the rational number \(2\) (which can be expressed as \(\frac{2}{1}\)). 2. **Calculate the product.** The product of \(4\) (integer) and \(2\) (rational number) is: \[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \] 3. **Check if the product is a natural number.** The result \(8\) is indeed a natural number. Therefore, Statement A is false. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement B 1. **Choose an integer and a rational number.** Again, we will use the integer \(4\) and the rational number \(2\). 2. **Calculate the quotient.** The quotient of \(4\) (integer) divided by \(2\) (rational number) is: \[ \frac{4}{2} = 2 \] 3. **Check if the quotient is an integer.** The result \(2\) is an integer. Therefore, Statement B is also false. ### Conclusion Since both statements A and B are false, the correct answer is that neither statement is correct. ### Final Answer The correct option is **D: Neither A nor B is correct.** ---
