(1) Which of the following will not represent zero:
(a) 1 + 0
Sol.
= 1 + 0
= 1 (because any number added with 0 gives the number itself)
Here, the answer is 1. Therefore, it is not representing zero.
b) 0 × 0
Sol.
= 0 × 0
= 0 (because if any number is multiplied by 0, it gives 0 only)
Here, the answer is 0. Therefore, it is representing zero.
(c) 0/2
Sol.
= 0/2
= 0 (because if 0 is divided by any number, it gives 0 only)
Here, the answer is 0. Therefore, it is representing zero.
(d) (10 – 10)/2
Sol.
= (10 – 10)/2
= 0/2
= 0 (because if 0 is divided by any number, it gives 0 only)
Here, the answer is 0. Therefore, it is representing zero.
