Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, and let Xⁿₖ be a quasi-projective variety that is F-rational and F-pure. We prove that if H Pⁿₖ is a general hyperplane, then X H is also F-rational and F-pure. Of related but independent interest, we present a relationship between the characteristic and index of a Q-Gorenstein variety with isolated non-F-regular locus which is F-pure but not F-regular.
