A number is an abstract mathematical unit which is subjected to the laws of arithmetic.
Hence, the correct option is “A”.

Explanation of Solution
Number:
- A number is actually a mathematical object used for counting, labeling and measuring.
- There are many types of numbers such as
- Natural numbers
- Whole numbers
- Negative numbers
- Rational numbers
- Irrational numbers
- Positive numbers
- Numbers are mainly used for arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and so on.
- The study of properties of number is known as number theory.
Explanation for incorrect options:
b. Natural number:
A natural number is a type of number. Natural numbers are positive integers or whole numbers such as 1, 2, 3 and so on and sometimes 0 as well.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
c. Integer number:
An integer number is also a type of number. It is a whole number that can be positive, negative or zero.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
d. Negative number:
A negative number is also a type of number. It is a real number which is less than zero.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
e. Rational number:
Rational number is also a type of number. It is any number that can be expressed as fraction or as a quotient.
Hence, the option “E” is wrong

- Specifications: Part-2Part-2: DescriptionIn this part of the lab, we will illuminate two 7-segment displays. You will need to understand 2's Complement todetermine when the input 4-bit binary number corresponds to a negative or positive number. To understand how anLED display works in Digital, please refer to the playWithLED_Display.dig file provided. You should play withdifferent input combinations to see how it influences the LED Display value. In the screenshot below, note how I wasable to generate the display of “3” on the Hex display by lighting up only certain input wires to the unit. Here is a picture of how the different segments light up to produce the different displays: Note in the picture above that we showed displays only from 0-8 since in 4-bit 2s complement representation, 8 is thelargest modulus value you can represent (the range of integers would be -8 to +7).Your circuit in Part-2 must accept a 4-bit 2's complement input {in3, in2, in1, in0} where in3 is the most…arrow_forwardSolve this "Do not use AI tools.
