Question

The product of two whole numbers is zero. What do you conclude?

Sum

Solution

If the product of two whole numbers is zero, then one of them is definitely zero.
Example: 0 × 2 = 0 and 0 × 15 = 0

If the product of whole numbers is zero, then both of them may be zero.
i.e., 0 × 0 = 0

Now, 2 × 5 = 10. Here, the product will be non-zero because the numbers to be multiplied are not equal to zero.
