Options

  1. A

    There is no rational number x∈Sx \in Sx∈S such that x≤0x \leq 0x≤0

  2. B

    Every rational number x∈Sx \in Sx∈S satisfies x≤0x \leq 0x≤0

  3. C

    x∈Sx \in Sx∈S and x≤0⇒xx \leq 0 \Rightarrow xx≤0⇒x is not rational

  4. D

    There is a rational number x∈Sx \in Sx∈S such that x≤0x \leq 0x≤0
