Question

Let a = 0, 2, 3, 4 and let b = 1, 2, 3, 4. Which one of the following statements is true?

1) a + b = 5
2) a - b = 1
3) a * b = 8
4) a / b = 2

Answer 1

None of the statements a + b = 5, a - b = 1, a * b = 8, a / b = 2 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine which statement is true by evaluating the given values of a and b.

1) a + b = 0 + 1 = 1, which is not equal to 5.

2) a - b = 0 - 1 = -1, which is not equal to 1.

3) a * b = 0 * 1 = 0, which is not equal to 8.

4) a / b = 0 / 1 = 0, which is not equal to 2.

Therefore, none of the given statements is true.
