Q. Which of the following statements is true?\newline(a) Every whole number has a predecessor.\newline(b) Successor of a 33-digit number is always a 33-digit number.\newline(c) Every natural number has a predecessor.\newline(d) 1111 is a whole number but not a natural number.
  1. Check Successor 33-digit number: Check option (b): Successor of a 33-digit number is always a 33-digit number.\newlineConsider the 33-digit number 999999. The successor of 999999 is 10001000, which is a 44-digit number.
  2. Check Natural Number Predecessor: Check option (c): Every natural number has a predecessor. Natural numbers start from 11. The predecessor of 11 is 00, which is not a natural number.
  3. Check Whole Number 1111: Check option (d): 1111 is a whole number but not a natural number.\newlineThis statement is incorrect because 1111 is both a whole number and a natural number.
