The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that `-1, 0, 3, 14/93` are all examples of rational numbers. ### Step 2: Define Rational Numbers A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form of \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers, and \( q \neq 0 \). ### Step 3: Analyze Each Number in the Assertion 1. **For -1**: - We can express -1 as \( \frac{-1}{1} \). - Here, \( p = -1 \) and \( q = 1 \) (which is not zero), so -1 is a rational number. 2. **For 0**: - We can express 0 as \( \frac{0}{1} \). - Here, \( p = 0 \) and \( q = 1 \) (which is not zero), so 0 is a rational number. 3. **For 3**: - We can express 3 as \( \frac{3}{1} \). - Here, \( p = 3 \) and \( q = 1 \) (which is not zero), so 3 is a rational number. 4. **For 14/93**: - This is already in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( p = 14 \) and \( q = 93 \) (which is not zero), so 14/93 is a rational number. ### Step 4: Conclusion on the Assertion Since all the numbers given in the assertion can be expressed in the form of \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \), we conclude that the assertion is true. ### Step 5: Understand the Reason The reason states that all integers and fractions are rational numbers. ### Step 6: Validate the Reason - **Integers**: Any integer can be expressed as \( \frac{n}{1} \) (where \( n \) is an integer), which fits the definition of rational numbers. - **Fractions**: Any fraction is already in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \). ### Step 7: Conclusion on the Reason Since both integers and fractions meet the criteria of rational numbers, the reason is also true. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
