Detailed Solution

A:If a,bQ then abQ , then a,b are closed under subtraction

Ex: 23,59Q , then 2359=659=19Q

B: If a,bQ then a,b are closed under division

Ex: 23,32Q then 23÷32=(23)(32)=23×32=49Q

But, 23,0Q then23÷0=(23)(0)=20 (Not defined)

So, rational numbers are not closed under division

C: If a,bQ then a+bQ thena,b are closed under addition

Ex: 23,35Q ,then 23+32=10+915=1915Q

D: If a,bQ , then a,b are closed under multiplication

Ex: 23,59Q , then 23×59=1027Q

and also 23,0Q ,then 23×0=0Q

Hence, rational numbers are closed under multiplication.
