The set of natural numbers N starts at:

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. -∞
  4. Any positive number
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 1

Natural numbers are the counting numbers N = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. They start at 1 — the earliest mathematical concept, dating back to humans matching pebbles to cattle thousands of years ago.

The Indian mathematician who formally introduced ZERO as a number (with rules for arithmetic) in 628 CE was:

  1. Aryabhata
  2. Brahmagupta
  3. Bhaskara
  4. Madhava
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Brahmagupta

Brahmagupta's Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (628 CE) gave zero its first formal definition and rules — not just a placeholder, but a number you could add, subtract, multiply with. The philosophical idea of śhūnya was much older (Yoga Sutras, c. 3rd century BCE), but Brahmagupta codified it for mathematics.

A rational number is any number that can be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and:

  1. q can be anything
  2. q ≠ 0
  3. p ≠ 0
  4. p and q are equal
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. q ≠ 0

Division by zero is undefined, so q must be non-zero. The numerator p can be any integer (including 0 — since 0/5 = 0 is rational).
