  • Question

  • 0 divided by 0


  • Options
  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. Undefined
  • D. Indeterminate

  • Correct Answer
  • Indeterminate 

    Explanation

    Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can?t determine.

    Because we don?t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

    Explanation::

        • Let us think by this analogy that,

    0 / 1 = 0

    0 / 2 = 0

    ????

    ???..

    we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

        • Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

    1 / 0 = +? or -?

    2 /0 = +? or -?

    ???

    .??.

    we can say 0 / 0 = ?

        • Again, another analogy,

    1 / 1 = 1

    2/2 = 1

    .??..

    ???..

    we can say, 0/0 = 1

    Now, you see it?s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can?t determine this fact.

    So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
