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

Solution:

Let's evaluate the following expressions

(a) 1 + 0 = 1 Hence, it does not represent zero

(b) 0 × 0 = 0 Hence, it represents zero [ When 0 is multiplied with any number, the result is always 0]

(c) 0 / 2 = 0 Hence, it represents zero [ When 0 is divided vy any number, the result is always 0]

(d) (10 – 10) / 2 = 0 / 2 = 0 Hence, it represents zero

Thus, option (a) 1 + 0 does not represent a zero.
