Options
- AIrrational
- BRational
- CPositive real number
- DNegative real number
Correct answer
B. Rational
Step-by-step solution
If function (f(x)= (a x)+ (x) ) be periodic, then LCM of ( 2 |a| ) and (2 ) must exist and it is only possible if (a ) is a rational number. Hence, option (b) is correct.
