Solution

The false statement is: "Majority carriers in a n-type semiconductor are holes."

In an n-type semiconductor, the majority carriers are electrons, not holes. This is because n-type semiconductors are created by doping a pure semiconductor (like silicon or germanium) with an impurity that has more valence electrons than the semiconductor. This extra electron is loosely bound to the atom and can easily move around, making it the majority carrier.
