17. The three rational numbers between 3 and 4 are:
(a) 5/2 , 6/2 , 7/2
(b) 13/ 4 , 14/ 4 , 15/4
(c) 12/7 , 13/7 , 14 /7
(d) 11/4 , 12/4 ,13 /4
Answer: b
Explanation: There are many rational numbers between 3 and 4
To find 3 rational numbers, we need to multiply and divide both the numbers by 3+1=4
 Hence, 3 ×(4 /4)=12/4 and 4 ×(4 /4)=16/4
Thus, three rational numbers between 12/4 and 16 /4 are 13/ 4 , 14/ 4 and 15/ 4.
18. Associative property is not followed in
(a) whole numbers
(b) integers
(c) natural numbers
(d) rational numbers
The correct answer is c) natural number in general associative properties also holds true
addition as well as multiplication for all four options as well as but not true for subtraction
as well as division. If we add zero in the natural number then we also get set of numbers
which is called as the whole number
19. ________ is the identity for the addition of rational numbers.
(a) 1
(b) 0
(c) −1
1
(d)

0 is a rational number such that the sum of any rational number and 0 is the rational
number itself. Thus, (a/b + 0) = (0 + a/b) = a/b, for every rational number a/b. 0 is called the
additive identity for rational
20. _________ is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers.

24. The reciprocal of −5 is _____
(a) 5
(b) 1
−1
(c)
5
1
(d)
5
The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal.
The reciprocal of a number, a is 1/a.
So, the reciprocal of -5 is 1/(-5).
Hence, the required solution is (-1)/5.

35. Rational number is equal to:
40
(a) 0.75
(b) 0.12
(c) 0.012
(d) 0.075
Given:
The rational number =3/40
Calculation:
⇒ When we multiply and divide the given rational number with 100 then,
⇒ (3/40) × (100/100)
⇒ (3/100) × (100/40) = (3/100)×(2.5)
⇒ (7.5/100) =0.075
∴ The required result will be 0.075.
