The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** While dividing a whole number by a fraction, we always get an integer. **Solution:** To test this statement, we can take a whole number and divide it by a fraction. Let's use the whole number 4 and the fraction \( \frac{2}{5} \). When we divide 4 by \( \frac{2}{5} \), we can rewrite this as: \[ 4 \div \frac{2}{5} = 4 \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \] In this case, we got an integer (10). However, let's try another example with a different fraction, say \( \frac{3}{4} \): \[ 4 \div \frac{3}{4} = 4 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \] Here, \( \frac{16}{3} \) is not an integer. Thus, **Statement I is false** because dividing a whole number by a fraction does not always yield an integer. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** The product of a proper and an improper fraction is always less than both the improper fraction and the proper fraction. **Solution:** A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator (e.g., \( \frac{2}{3} \)), and an improper fraction is where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g., \( \frac{5}{4} \)). Let’s take a proper fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \) and an improper fraction \( \frac{5}{4} \). Now, we calculate the product: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6} \] Now, we compare \( \frac{5}{6} \) with both \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( \frac{5}{4} \): - \( \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6} \) (which is greater than \( \frac{5}{6} \)) - \( \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \) (which is also greater than \( \frac{5}{6} \)) Thus, the product \( \frac{5}{6} \) is indeed less than both \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( \frac{5}{4} \). Therefore, **Statement II is true**. ### Conclusion - Statement I is **false**. - Statement II is **true**. ### Final Answer - The correct option is that Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
