The number

$'0'$ along with the natural numbers gives us the number set

$\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .....\}$ which is known as set of whole numbers.

Hence,

$0,1,2,3,4....$ are whole numbers.

Natural numbers are also known as ...........

0%
whole numbers
0%
counting numbers
0%
integers
0%
rational numbers

Explanation

$1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .....$ are called "natural numbers" and are also known as counting numbers.

$a, b$ and

$c$ are whole numbers, then

$a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c$ . This property is called

0%
associative property
0%
commutative property
0%

0%
none of the above

Explanation

$a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c$ is associative property of whole numbers.

Which of the following does not satisfy closure property for whole numbers?

0%
$6\times 5=30$
0%
$4\times 4=16$
0%
$5-8=-3$
0%
$9+5=14$

Explanation

$5$ and

$8$ are whole numbers but

$-3$ is not a whole number.

So, option C is correct.

Closure property is applicable to ........ operation of whole numbers.

0%
inverse
0%
division
0%
subtraction
0%
addition

Explanation

A) The closure property of the inverse tells that the result of the inverse of the whole number is not always a whole number. Whole numbers are not closed under inverse i.e., the inverse of a = 1 ÷ a is not always a whole number. From the property, we have, 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 (not a whole number)

B) The closure property of the division tells that the result of the division of two whole numbers is not always a whole number. Whole numbers are not closed under division i.e., a ÷ b is not always a whole number. From the property, we have, 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (whole number) but 7 ÷ 14 = ½ (not a whole number).

C) When one whole number is subtracted from another, the difference is not always a whole number. This means that the whole numbers are not closed under subtraction. If a and b are two whole numbers and a − b = c, then c is not always a whole number. Take a = 7 and b = 5, a − b = 7 − 5 = 2 and b − a = 5 − 7 = −2 (not a whole number).

D) Two whole numbers add up to give another whole number. This is the closure property of the whole numbers. It means that the whole numbers are closed under addition. If a and b are two whole numbers and a + b = c, then c is also a whole number. 3 + 4 = 7 (whole number).

Hence option

$D$ is correct.

Which of the following numbers is not a natural number?

0%
$3$
0%
$2$
0%
$1$
0%
$0$

Explanation

The counting numbers

$1, 2, 3, 4, .....$ are called natural numbers. The set of natural numbers does not include

$0$ .

Example of distributive property specific to whole numbers is

0%
$-2 \times (1+10) = (-2 \times 1) + (-2 \times 10)$
0%
$(9+0) \times 5 = (9 \times 5) + (0 \times 5)$
0%
$12 \times (-2-8) = (12 \times -2) - (12 \times 8)$
0%
none of these

Explanation

Apart from

$B,$ the other options contain a negative sign.
Negative numbers do not belong to whole numbers.

Only option

$B$ is correct.

Commutative property is applicable to whole number in case of

0%
Addition
0%
Multiplication
0%
Division
0%
Subtraction

Explanation

For whole numbers,

Addition and multiplication are commutative.

i.e. operations on L.H.S and R.H.S give the same result.

irrespective of the sequence in which addition / multiplication is carried out.

For eg.

$6 + 7 = 7 + 6 = 13$

and

$7 \times 6 = 6 \times 7 = 42$

So, options

$A$ and

$B$ are correct.

Which of the following satisfies closure property for whole numbers?

0%
$12+0=12$
0%

Explanation

Whole numbers are commutative under addition and multiplication.

For example

Take two whole numbers

$2$ and

$5.$

Addition

$=2+5=7$ also

$5+2=7$ , You can add whole nos. in any order which gives same results.

Subtraction

$2-5=-3$ also

$5-2=3$

Multiplication

$=2\times 5=10$ also

$5\times 2=10$ You can multiply whole nos. in any order which gives same results.

Division

$=2\div 5=0.4$ also

$5\div2=2.5$

Whole numbers are commutative under addition and multiplication.

For any two whole numbers

$a$ and

$b$ which of the following statements is incorrect?

0%
$a + b = b + a$
0%
$a\times b = b\times a$
0%
$a + b = a\times b$
0%
$b + a = a + b$

Explanation

The sum of any two whole numbers and the product of the same are not necessarily equal.

Eg.

$2 + 2 = 4 = 2 \times 2$ , but

$3 + 3 = 6$ and

$3\times 3 = 9$ which are not equal.

Rest all options depicts commutative property which whole numbers satisfy.

For any two whole numbers

$p$ and

$q, p\times q = .........$

0%
$p$
0%
$q$
0%
$q\times p$
0%
None of these

Explanation

The value of the product does not change when the order of multiplication gets changed. This is the commutative property of multiplication.

Let the two whole numbers be p and q, then

$p × q = q × p ⇒ 4 × 9 = 36 = 9 × 4$ .

Whole numbers are commutative under multiplication.

Whole numbers are not closed under __________ operation.

0%
addition
0%
multiplication
0%
division
0%
none of these

Explanation

When any whole number is divided by another whole number, the result is not always a whole number. Eg.

$2\div 3 = \dfrac {2}{3} = 0.666$ . Thus, whole numbers are not closed under division operation.
