1. The smallest number by which √27  should be multiplied so as to get a rational number is
−−
a. √27
–
b. 3√3
–
c. √3

d. 3

Ans. :
–
c. √3

Solution:
−− −−−−−−−
√27 = √3 × 3 × 3
–
= 3√3
– −−
Out of the given choices √3 is the only smallest number by which if we multiply √27 we
get a rational number.
Hence, the correct choice is (c).

2. A rational number can be expressed as a terminating decimal if the denominator has the
factors:
a. 2 only
b. 2 or 5 only
c. 2 or 3 only
d. 2, 3 or 5 only

Ans. :
b. 2 or 5 only
Solution:
A rational number can be expressed as a terminating decimal if the denominator has the
factors 2 or 5 or both. Any other factors in the denominator yield a non-terminating
decimal expansion.

3. The decimal expansion of the number  1250
will terminate after:
a. One decimal place.
b. Two decimal places.
c. Three decimal places.
d. Four decimal places.

Ans. :
d. Four decimal places.
Solution:

 
[1]
 The prime factorisation of the denominator is 2 × 52
Since 4 > 1,
The decimal expansion will terminate after 4 decimal places.
4. Every positive odd integer is of the form ________ where ‘q’ is some integer.
a. 2q+1
b. 5q+1
c. 2q+2
d. 3q+1

Ans. :
a. 2q+1
Solution:
Let a be any positive integer and b = 2
Then by applying Euclid’s Division Lemma,
we have, a = 2q + r,
where 0 ≤ r < 2

⇒ r = 0 or 1
∴ a 2q or 2q + 1.

Therefore, it is clear that a = 2q

i.e., a is an even integer.
Also, 2q and 2q + 1  are consecutive integers, therefore, ​2q + 1​is an odd integer.

5. The decimal expansion of the rational number  1250
 will terminate after:
a. One decimal place.
b. Two decimal place.
c. Three decimal place.

 6. Which of the following statement is false?
A.  H.C.F (p, q, r) × LCM (p, q, r) = p × q × r
B. LCM (p, q, r) = p × q × r;  if p, q, r are prime numbers
C. HCF (p, q, r) = 1;  if p, q, r are prime numbers
D. HCF(a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b
a. (C)
b. (A)
c. (B)
d. (D)

Ans. :
b. (A)
Solution:
H.C.F (p, q, r) × LCM (p, q, r) ≠ p × q × r
This condition is applied on HCF and LCM of two numbers (either (p, q ) or (q, r ) or (r, p))
For three numbers p,q and r the formula is different.

7. If two positive integers tn and n arc expressible in the form m = pq3  and n = p3 q2 , where p, q
are prime numbers, then HCF (m, n) =
a. pq
b. pq2
c. p3 q3
d. p2 q3

Ans. :
b. pq2
Solution:
m and n are two positive integers and m = pq3  and n = pq2 , where p and q are prime
numbers, then HCF = pq2 .

8. If 9x + 2 = 240 + 9x, then the value of x is:

a. 0.3
b. 0.2
c. 0.1
d. 0.5

Ans. :
d. 0.5
Solution:
x+2
9 = 240 + 9x

x 2
⇒ 9 .9 = 240 + 9x
x
⇒ 9 (81 − 1) = 240
x
⇒ 9 = 3

x 1
⇒ 9 = 9

⇒  x = = 0.5

9. A number when divided by 143 leaves 31 as remainder. What will be the remainder when the
same number is divided by 13?
a. 0
 
[3]
 b. 1
c. 3
d. 5

Ans. :
d. 5
Solution:
Let the number be n.
When the number is divided by 143, leaves 31 as remainder.
⇒ The given number is of the form, 143x + 31
⇒ n = 143x + 31, where x is the quotient
⇒ n = 13(11x) + 13(2) + 5
⇒ n = 13(11x + 2) + 5
So, here the remainder will be 5 when divided by 13
10. The decimal expansion of π :
a. is non-terminating and recurring
b. is terminating
c. does not exist
d. is non-terminating and non-recurring

Ans. :
d. is non-terminating and non-recurring
Solution:
The value of π = 3.141592653589...

Therefore the value of π  is not-repeating decimal, non-terminating and non-recurring

numbers.

* State whether the following sentences are True or False. [1 Marks Each]
16. The sum of two irrational number is an irrational number (True/ False).

Ans. :
False.
Reason:
As it is not always possible that the sum of two irrational is also an irrational number, it may be
rational number also.
For example,
– – – –
(2 + √3) + (2 − √3) = 2 + √3 + 2 − √3 = 4.

17. The product of any three consecutive natural number is divisible by 6 (True/ False).

Ans. :
True.
Reason:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be 1,2 and 3.
Their product is 6, which is divisible by 6.
Let the other set of three consecutive natural numbers be 3, 4 and 5.
Their product is 60, which is divisible by 6.
18. Every odd integer is of the form 2m - 1, where m is an integer (True/ False).

Ans. :
True.
Reason:
Let the various values of m as -1, 0 and 9.
Thus, the values for 2m - 1 become -3, -1 and 17 respectively.
These are odd integers.
19. Every even integer is of the form 2m, where m is an integer (True/ False).

Ans. :
True.
Reason:
Let the various values of m as -1, 0 and 9.
Thus, the values for 2m become -2, 0 and 18 respectively.
20. The product of two irrational numbers is an irrational number (True/ False).

Ans. :
False.
Reason:

 
[6]
 As it is not always possible that the product of two irrational number be also an irrational
number, it may be a rational number.
for example,
– – – –
√3 × √3 = 3, √7 × √7 = 7

25. Find the LCM and HCF of 12, 15 and 21 integers by applying the prime factorisation method.

Ans. :
12, 15 and 21
12 = 22 × 3
15 = 3 × 5
21 = 3 × 7
HCF = 3
LCM = 22 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 420
26. Find the LCM and HCF of 8, 9 and 25 integers by applying the prime factorisation method.

 
[7]
 Ans. :
8, 9 and 25
8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23
9 = 3 × 3 = 32
25 = 5 × 5 = 52
HCF = 1
LCM = 23 × 32 × 52 = 1800

27. Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.

Ans. :
If any number ends with the digit 0, it should be divisible by 10 or in other words, it will
also be divisible by 2 and 5 as 10 = 2 × 5
Prime factorisation of 6n = (2 ×3)n
It can be observed that 5 is not in the prime factorisation of 6n.
Hence, for any value of n, 6n will not be divisible by 5.
Therefore, 6n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.

28. Prove that 6 + √2  is irrational.

Ans. :
Let us assume that 6 + √2 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
6 + √2 = a/b
Here a and b are two co-prime numbers and b is not equal to 0
Subtract 6 both side we get
√2 = a/b – 6
√2 = (a-6b)/b
Here a and b are integers so (a-6b)/b is a rational number. So √2 should be a rational
number. But √2 is an irrational number. It is a contradiction.
Hence result is 6 + √2 is a irrational number
–
29. Prove that √3  is irrational.

Ans. :
Let us assume √3 be a rational, then as every rational can be represented in the form
p/q where q≠0
Let √3=p/q where p,q have no common factor.
Now squaring on both sides we get 3=p2/q2
⟹  3×q2=p2
Which means 3 divides p2 which implies 3 divides p
 
[8]
 Hence we can write p=3×k, where k is some constant.
This gives 3×q2=9×k2
q2=3×k2
Which means 3 divides q2 which implies 3 divides q.
3 divides p and q which means 3 is a common factor for p and q.
And this is a contradiction for our assumption that p and q have no common factor…
Hence we can say our assumption that √3 is rational is wrong…
And therefore √3 is an irrational…

31. Prove that √5 is irrational.

Ans. :
–
Let us prove √5 irrational by contradiction.

–
Let us suppose that √5 is rational. It means that we have co-prime integers a and b (b
≠ 0)
–
Such that √5 =
a

–
⇒  b √5 = a

Squaring both sides, we get

⇒ 5b 2 =a 2 ... (1)

It means that 5 is factor of a2

Hence, 5 is also factor of a by Theorem. ... (2)
If, 5 is factor of a , it means that we can write a = 5c for some integer c .
Substituting value of a in (1) ,
5b2 = 25c2
⇒ b2 =5c2
It means that 5 is factor of b2 .
Hence, 5 is also factor of b by Theorem. ... (3)
From (2) and (3) , we can say that 5 is factor of both a and b .

 
[9]
 But, a and b are co-prime .
–
Therefore, our assumption was wrong. √5 cannot be rational. Hence, it is irrational.

32. HCF and LCM are widely used in number system especially in real numbers in finding
relationship between different numbers and their general forms. Also, product of two positive
integers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM.
Based on the above information answer the following questions.
1. A boy with collection of marbles realizes that if he makes a group of 5 or 6 marbles, there
are always two marbles left, then p will be odd, even, prime or not prime?
2. Find the least positive integer which on adding 1 is exactly divisible by 126 and 600.
3. Find the largest possible positive integer that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving
remainder 7, 11, 15 respectively.
Or
If A, B and Care three rational numbers such that 85C - 340A = 109, 425A + 85B = 146, then
the sum of A, B and C is divisible by?

Ans. :
1.Here, required numbers
= HCF (398 - 7,436 - 11,542 - 15)
= HCF (391, 425, 527) = 17
2.LCM of 126 and 600 = 2 × 3 × 21 × 100 = 12600.
The least positive integer which on adding 1 is exactly divisible by 126 and 600 = 12600
- 1 = 12599
3.Here, required numbers
= HCF (398 - 7,436 - 11,542 - 15)
= HCF (391, 425, 527) = 17
Or
Here 85C - 340A = 109 and 425A + 85B = 146 On adding them, we get,
85A + 85B + 85C = 255
⇒ A + 8 + C = 3, which is divisible by 3.
