Which of the following will not represent zero (a) 1 + 0  (b) 0 × 0  (c)  0/2  (d) (10-10)/2

Question – Which of the following will not represent zero:

(a) 1 + 0   
(b) 0 × 0        
(c)  0/2      
(d) (10-10)/2

Solution 1.

(a) 1 + 0 = 1

(b) 0 × 0 = 0

(c) 0/2= 0

(d) (10-10)/2 = 0

Hence, option (a) 1 + 0 = 1 is the correct answer as its not representing 0.
