The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement and determine whether it is true (T) or false (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (i)**: "Every natural number is a rational number." - **Explanation**: Natural numbers are the set of positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...). A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0 \). Each natural number can be expressed as a fraction with a denominator of 1 (e.g., 1 can be written as \( \frac{1}{1} \), 2 as \( \frac{2}{1} \), etc.). - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**. 2. **Evaluate Statement (ii)**: "Every rational number is a fraction." - **Explanation**: By definition, rational numbers can be expressed as fractions of integers. For example, \( \frac{3}{5} \), \( 0 \) (which can be written as \( \frac{0}{1} \)), and \( 2 \) (which can be written as \( \frac{2}{1} \)) are all examples of rational numbers expressed as fractions. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**. 3. **Evaluate Statement (iii)**: "Zero is not a rational number." - **Explanation**: Zero can be expressed as a fraction, specifically \( \frac{0}{1} \). Since it can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( p = 0 \) and \( q = 1 \) (with \( q \neq 0 \)), zero is indeed a rational number. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. 4. **Evaluate Statement (iv)**: "The reciprocal of 0 is \( \frac{1}{0} \)." - **Explanation**: The reciprocal of a number \( x \) is defined as \( \frac{1}{x} \). However, division by zero is undefined in mathematics. Therefore, the reciprocal of zero does not exist. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. ### Final Answers: - (i) T - (ii) T - (iii) F - (iv) F ### Summary: The correct options are: - (i) True - (ii) True - (iii) False - (iv) False
