Question.  20

4/2 = 2 denotes a

(A)

numerical equation

(B)

algebraic expression

(C)

equation with a variable

(D)

false statement

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Look at the left side: ( rac{4}{2} ).

Step 2: Divide: ( rac{4}{2} = 2 ).

Step 3: Now the statement is ( 2 = 2 ), which is true.

Step 4: Notice there are only numbers here (no letters/variables). So this is a statement made only with numbers.

Conclusion: ( rac{4}{2} = 2 ) is a numerical equation (a true statement using only numbers).

Why the other options are not correct:

  • Algebraic expression: needs letters/variables like ( x ) or ( y ). None here.
  • Equation with a variable: again, no variable is present.
  • False statement: it is true because ( 2 = 2 ).
