II. f is bounded on the open interval (a, b).
1II. If \mathrm{ a<a_1<b_1<b and f\left(a_1\right)<0<f\left(b_1\right)}, then there is a number ' c ' such that \mathrm{ a_1<c<b_1 and f(c)=0}

\mathrm{ I \,\, and\, \, II are\, \, false, The function, f(x)=\frac{1}{x}, 0<x<1, .}
is a counter example. Statement III is true. Apply the intermediate value theorem to f on the closed interval \mathrm{ \left[a_1, b_1\right] }
