Question
Every rational number is an integer.
Options
A. TRUE
B. FALSE

Correct Answer

FALSE

Explanation

Any integer 'i' can be written as i = i/1, which is a rational number. Clearly, 7/2,-5/4, etc... are rational numbers but they are not integers.

Hence, from the above analysis, every integer is a rational number but a rational number need not be an integer.

Therefore the given statement that 'Every rational number is an integer' is FALSE.
