(a) One decimal place

(b) Two decimal places

(c) Three decimal places

(d) Four decimal places

Answer: (b) Two decimal places.

33/22×5 = 33×5/22×52 = 33×5/102 – 33×5/100

Since no. of zeros is 2.

Question 14. √10×√15 is equal to

(a) 6√5

(b) 5√6

(c) √25

(d) 10√5

Answer: option (b) 5√6 is correct

Hint: √10 × √15

= √2 × √5 × √3 × √5

= 5 × √6

= 5√6

Question 15.  2√3 + √3 is equal to

(a) 2√6

(b) 6

(c) 3√3

(d) 4√6

Answer: 2√3 + √3

= 3√3 option (c) is correct

Question 16. The value of √8 + √18 is

(a) √26

(b) 2 (√2 + √3)

(c) 5√2

(d) 6√2

Answer:  (c) 5√2 is correct

Hint : √8 + √18

= √2 ×√4 + √2 × √9

= √2 (2+3)

= 5√2

Question 17. The number (2 – √3)2 is

(a) A natural number

(b) An integer

(c) A rational number

(d) An irrational number

Answer: (d) An irrational number is correct 

Hint : (2 – √3)2 = 22 – 2 × 2 ×√3 + (√3)2

= 4 – 4√3 + 3

= 7 – 4√3 is an irrational number

(a) A rational number

(b) An irrational number

(c) Neither rational nor irrational number

(d) Both rational as well as irrational number

Answer:

(√x + √y) (√x – √y) = (√x)2– (√y)2. x – y is a rational number option (c) is correct

Question 20. After rationalising the denominator of 7/3√3-2√2, we get the denominator as

(a) 13

(b) 19

(c) 5

(d) 35

Answer:

7/3√3-2√2 = 7/3√3-2√2 × 3√3+2√2/3√3+2√2 = 21√3+14√2/(3√3)2-(2√2)2

= 7(3√3+2√2)/17-8 = 7(3√3+2√2)/19  option (b) is correct

Question 21. The number obtained on rationalising the denominator of 1/√7-2 is

(a)√7+2/3

(b) √7-2/3

(c) √7+2/5

(d) √7+2/45

Answer:

1/√7-2 = 1/√7-2 ×√7+2/√7+2

= √7+2/(√7)2-22

= √7+2/7-4

= √7+2/3

option is correct (a) √7+2/3
