Which of the following is NOT true of the Hindu-Arabic system of numeration?
A.The position of a digit in a number dictates its value.
B.It is additive in nature.
C.It follows the base 2 system.✓ Correct
D.It is multiplicative in nature.
Explanation
The Hindu-Arabic numeral system follows base 10 (decimal system), not base 2. Base 2 is the binary system used in computers. The Hindu-Arabic system is positional (digit position determines value), additive (the total value is sum of place values), and multiplicative (each digit's value is its face value multiplied by its place value). For example, 345 = 3×100 + 4×10 + 5×1, showing positional, additive, and multiplicative properties.
