1. Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an
example of the square root of a number that is irrational number.
Ans: We know that square root of every positive integer will not yield an integer.
We know that 4 is 2 , which is an integer. But, 7 or 10 will give an
irrational number.
Therefore, we conclude that square root of every positive integer is not an
irrational number.

6. Express 0.99999.... in the form . Are you surprised by your answer?
q
Discuss why the answer makes sense with your teacher and classmates.
Ans: Let x = 0.99999.... ......(a)
We need to multiply both sides by 10 to get
10x = 9.9999.... ......(b)
We need to subtract (a) from (b) , to get
10x = 9.99999....
− x = 0.99999....

We know that the number 3.76 and 3.77 . will lie between 3.7 and 3.8 .
We know that the number 3.7 and 3.8 will lie between 3 and 4 .
Therefore, we can conclude that we need to use the successive magnification,
after locating numbers 3 and 4 on the number line

8. Visualize 4.26 on the number line, upto 4 decimal places.
Ans: We know that the number 4.26 can also be written as 4.262.... .
We know that the number 4.262.... will lie between 4.261 and 4.263 .
We know that the number 4.2 and 4.3 will lie between 4 and 5 .
Therefore, we can conclude that we need to use the successive magnification,
after locating numbers 4 and 5 on the number line.

9. Recall,  is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c ) of a circle of
c
its diameter (say d ). That is,  = . This seems to contradict the fact that 
d
is irrational. How you resolve this contradiction?
Ans: We know that when we measure the length of the line or a figure by using
a scaleneory device, we do not get an exact measurement. In fact, we get an
approximate rational value. So, we are not able to realize that either
circumference ( c ) or diameter ( d ) of a circle is irrational.

Therefore, we can conclude that as such there is not any contradiction regarding
the value of  and we realize that the value of  is irrational.
10. Represent 9.3 on the number line.

Ans: Mark the distance 9.3 units from a fixed point A on a given line to obtain
a point B suchthat AB = 9.3 units. From B mark a distance of 1 unit and call the
new point as C . Find themid-point of AC and call that point as O . Draw a semi-
circle with centre O and radius OC = 5.15 units. Draw a line perpendicular to
AC passing through B cutting the semi-circle at D .
Then BD = 9.3 .

Ans: Separately, consider whole numbers and natural numbers.
We know that whole number series is 0,1,2,3,4,5....
We know that natural number series is 0,1,2,3,4,5....

As a result, every number in the natural number series may be found in the whole
number series.
Therefore, we can safely conclude that any natural number is a whole number.
ii. Every integer is a whole number.

Ans: Separately, consider whole numbers and integers.
p
We know that integers are those numbers that can be written in the form of
q
where q=1.
In the case of an integer series, we now have.... 4,3,2,1,0,1,2,3,4....
We can conclude that all whole number series numbers belong to the integer
series.
However, the whole number series does not contain every number of integer
series.
As a result, we can conclude that no integer is a whole number.
iii. Every rational number is a whole number.

Ans: Separately, consider whole numbers and rational numbers.
p
We know that integers are those numbers that can be written in the form of
q
where q  0 .
We know that every number of whole number series can be written in the form
p 0 1 2 3 4 5
of as , , , , , ...
q 1 1 1 1 1 1
We conclude that every number of the whole number series is a rational number.
But, every rational number does not appear in the whole number series.
2. State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your
answers.
i. Every irrational number is a real number.
Ans: Separately, consider irrational numbers and real numbers.
We know that irrational numbers are the numbers that cannot be converted in the
p
form , where p and q are integers and q  0 .
q
A real number is made up of both rational and irrational numbers, as we all know.
As a result, we might conclude that any irrational number is, in fact, a real
number.
ii. Every point on the number line is of the form m , where m is a natural
number.
Ans: Consider a number line. We know that we can express both negative and
positive numbers on a number line.
We know that when we take the square root of any number, we cannot receive a
negative value.
Therefore, we conclude that not every number point on the number line is of the
form m , where m is a natural number.
iii. Every real number is an irrational number.

Ans: Separately, consider irrational numbers and real numbers.
We know that irrational numbers are the numbers that cannot be converted in the
p
form , where p and q are integers and q  0 .
q
A real number is made up of both rational and irrational numbers, as we all know.
As a result, we can deduce that any irrational number is actually a real number.
However, not every real number is irrational.
Therefore, we conclude that, every real number is not a rational number.

3. Express the following in the form where p and q are integers and q  0
q

i. 0.6
Ans: Let x = 0.6
 x = 0.6666 ......(a)
Multiplying both sides by 10 we get

4. What can the maximum number of digits be in the recurring block of

1
digits in the decimal expansion of ? Perform the division to check your
17
answer.
1
Ans: The number of digits in the recurring block of must be determined.
17
1
To acquire the repeating block of we'll use long division.
17
We need to divide 1 by 17, to get 0.0588235294117647.... and we got the
remainder as 1, which will continue to be 1 after carrying out 16 continuous
divisions.
Therefore, we conclude that
1 1
= 0.0588235294117647 or = 0.0588235294117647 which is a non-
17 17
terminating decimal and recurring decimal.

5. Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form
q
p and q are integers with no common factors other than 1 and having
terminating decimal representations (expansions). Can you guess what
property q must satisfy?
p
Ans: Let us consider the examples of the form that are terminating decimals.

It can be observed that the denominators of the above rational numbers have
powers of 2,5 or both.
p
Therefore, we can conclude that property, which q must satisfy in , so that the
q
p
rational number is a terminating decimal is that q must have powers of 2,5 or
q
both.
6. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:

point nor repeat its numbers in a sequence.
Representing the given numbers in decimal form we have,

Ans: Let us assume that 5 2 is a rational number.
Take x = 5 2 , with x being rational as well.
Now,

Let us compare the terms in LHS and RHS.

x
In LHS, we have , with x and 5 being rational numbers [Here x is rational,

30. Show how 4 can be represented on the number line.

Ans: Take AB = OA = 1 unit on a number line.
Also, A = 90
In OAB , apply Pythagoras Theorem,
OA2 + AB2 = OB2
 OB2 = 12 + 12

 OB2 = 1 + 1
 OB2 = 2
 OB = 2
Now, draw OB = OA1 = 2
And, A1B1 = 1 unit with A1 = 90

In OA1B1 , apply Pythagoras Theorem,
 OA12 + A1B12 = OB12
( 2)
2
 OB12 = + 12
 OB12 = 2 + 1
 OB12 = 3
 OB1 = 3
Now, draw OB1 = OA 2 = 3
And, A 2 B2 = 1 unit with A 2 = 90

In OA 2 B2 , apply Pythagoras Theorem,
 OA 2 2 + A 2 B2 2 = OB2 2
( 3)
2
 OB2 2 = + 12
 OB2 2 = 3 + 1
 OB2 2 = 4
 OB2 = 4
Now, draw OB2 = OA 3 = 4
Thus line segment OA 3 = 4

2. Classify the following as rational or irrational:

i. 23
Ans: It is known that the root of 23 will produce a non-terminating and non-
recurring decimal number [it is not a perfect square value], also it cannot be
represented as a fraction. Thus we can say that 23 is an irrational number.
ii. 225
Ans: It is known that 225 = 15 , which is an integer.
Thus 225 is a rational number.
iii. 0.3796
Ans: Here, 0.3796 is a terminating decimal number, and also it can be expressed
as a fraction.
3796 949
i.e. 0.3796 = =
10000 2500
Thus 0.3796 is a rational number.
iv. 7.478478...
Ans: Here, 7.478478... is a non-terminating, but recurring decimal number, and
also it can be expressed as a fraction.
i.e. 7.478478... = 7.487
Converting it into fraction
If x = 7.478478... (1)
Then 1000x = 7478.478478... (2)
Subtract equations (2) − (1)
1000x = 7478.478478...
− x= 7.478478...
999x = 7471
Now, 999x = 7471
7471
x=
999
7471
i.e. 7.478 =
999
Thus 7.478478... is a rational number.
v. 1.101001000100001...
Ans: Here, 1.101001000100001... is a non-terminating and non-recurring
decimal number and also it cannot be represented as a fraction. Thus we can say
that 1.101001000100001... is an irrational number.
