14 Mr. Sharma, the maths teacher of class VIII asked four students, of his class to write a
rational number. The students write a rational number in such a way that the rational
numbers written by two of them are equivalent. The rational number written by the
third student is in its simplest form; and the fourth student writes a rational number
whose reciprocal is not defined. Based on the above information answer the
following questions.
i. If student 1 writes the rational number −2/9; write a possible equivalent
rational number.
ii. What is the rational number written by fourth student?
iii. What is the simplest form of the rational number -34/85 ?
