Page- 22,23

Que-1: Which of the following is a rational number?

(a) π   (b) √2   (iii) 3.4    (iv) 1.010010001……..

Solution- (c) 3.4

Reason: a type of real number, which is in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero.  Some of the examples of rational numbers are 1/2, 1/5, 3/4, and so on.

Que-2: Which of the following is an irrational number?

(a) 2.7   (b) 2.72    (c) √11    (d) 2/7

Solution- (c) √11

Reason:  a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers; for example, √2 is an irrational number.

Que-3: Which of the following is a prime number ?

(a) 51   (b) 57  (c) 71 (d) 81

Solution- (c) 71

Reason: A prime number is the one which has exactly two factors, which means, it can be divided by only “1” and itself.

Que-4: When 8.32 is expressed as a vulgar fraction, then it becomes :

(a) 208/824  (b) 824/99  (c) 800/99  (d) 416/45

Solution- (b) 824/99

Reason: 8.32 = 824/99 in vulgar fraction

Que-5: 0.3 when expressed as a ratio of two integers, becomes :

(a) 103/330    (b) 52/165   (c) 103/111    (d) 104/333

Solution- (a) 103/330

Reason: 0.3 = 103/330

Que-6: Only by inspecting the prime factors of the denominator, state which of the following fractions will be a terminating decimal?

(a) 7/12   (b) 2/15   (c) 3/16    (d) 4/21 

Solution- (c) 3/16

Reason:  The prime factorization of 16 is 2^4.
Since the denominator contains only the prime factor 2, 3/16​ will be a terminating decimal.

Que-7: Only by inspecting the prime factors of the denominator, state which of the following fractions will be a recurring decimal?
(a) 7/16   (b) 8/51   (c) 3/25    (d) 11/20

Solution- (b) 8/51

Reason: The prime factorization of 51 is 3×17.
Since the denominator contains the prime factors 3 and 17, which are neither 2 nor 5, 8/51​ will be a recurring decimal.

Que-8: The number which is to be subtracted from √72 to get √32 is :

(a) 2√10    (b) 4√2    (c) 3√2    (iv) 2√2

Solution- (d) 2√2

Reason: Let the number be x.
√72​−x = √32​
Solving for x, we get:
x =√72​−√32​
Now, we simplify the square roots:
√72 = √(36×2) = √36×√2 = 6√2​
√32 = √(16×2) = √16×√2 = 4√2
Substitute these values back into the equation:
x = 6√2​−4√2​
Combine like terms:​
x = (6−4)√2​
x = 2√2.

Que-9: If x = 3+2√2, then x+1/x =

(a) 4√2   (b) 6√2    (c) 6    (d) 4

Solution- (c) 6

Reason:x = 3+2√2
Then, 1/x = 1/(3+2√2) = [1×(3−2√2)]/(3+2√2)(3−2√2)
= (3−2√2)/(3)²−(2√2)² = (3−2√2)/(9−8) = (3−2√2)/1
∴x+1/x = (3+2√2)+(3−2√2) = 6 Ans.

Que-10: If x = 2-√2, then x-1/x =

(a) 4  (b) -4  (c) 2√2  (d) -2√2

Solution- (d) -2√2

Reason:  x = 2 – √2
To get 1/x, we can rationalize the denominator:
1/x = 1 / (2 – √2)
= (2 + √2) / (2 – √2)(2 + √2)
= (2 + √2) / 2
Now, we can substitute the values of x and 1/x into the expression x – 1/x:
x – 1/x = (2 – √2) – (2 + √2)/2
x -1/x = [4-2√2-2+√2]/2
x-1/x = 2(-2√2)/2
x-1/x = -2√2.

Que-11: If x = 5+2√6, then x²+1/x² =

(a) 98   (b) 142   (c) 49   (d) 138

Solution- (a) 98

Reason: X = 5-2√6
∴ x² = (5-2√6)²
=25-2.5.2√6+24 = 49-20√6
1/x² = 1/(5-2√6)²
= 1/(49-20√6)
= (49+20√6)/(49-20√6)(49+20√6)
= (49+20√6)/(2401-2400)
= 49+20√6
∴ x²+1/x²
= 49-20√6+49+20√6 = 98 Ans.

Que-12: Two rational numbers between -3/7 and -1/7 are :

(a) 4/14, 3/14   (b) -4/14, 3/14    (c) 4/14, -3/14    (d) -4/14, -3/14

Solution- (d) -4/14, -3/14

Reason:  First, let’s convert −37−73​ and −17−71​ to fractions with a common denominator of 14:
−3/7 = (−3×2)/(7×2) = −6/14​
−1/7 = (−1×2)/(7×2) = −2/14
We are looking for rational numbers between −6/14​ and −2/14.
−4/14, −3/14 are both between −6/14 and −2/14​.

Que-13: The correct ascending order of √3, ∛6, 4√7 is :

(a) ∛6, 4√7, √3   (b) 4√7, √3, ∛6    (c) √3, 4√7, ∛6    (d) ∛6, √3, 4√7

Solution- (b) 4√7, √3, ∛6

Reason: √3​:
√3 ≈ 1.732
∛6 (the cube root of 6):
∛6 ≈ 1.817
4√7​ (the fourth root of 7):
4√7 ≈ 1.626
Arranging these values in ascending order, we get:
4√7 < √3 < ∛6.

Que-14: The mixed surd for ∛432 is :

(a) 2∛6    (b) 6∛2    (c) 3∛6    (d) 6∛3

Solution- (b) 6∛2

Reason:  First, we factorize 432:
432 = 2^4 × 3^3
Next, we take the cube root of each factor:
3√432 = 3√(2^4×3^3)
We can separate the cube root into:
3√(2^4×3^3) = 3√(2^4) × 3√(3^3)
Since 3√(3^3) = 3, we have:
3√432 = 3√(2^4) × 3
We simplify 3√(2^4):
3√(2^4) = 2 × 3√2
Thus:
3√432 = 3 × 2 × 3√2 = 6∛2.

Que-15: What is the pure surd for 5∛2 ?

(a) ∛125    (b) ∛150    (c) ∛250    (d) ∛1000

Solution- (c) ∛250

Reason: Here, 5∛2​ has 5 outside the cube root. We convert 5 to its cube and move it inside the cube root:
5∛2 = ∛(5³.2)
Calculate 5³ :
5³ = 125
Thus:
5∛2 = ∛(125.2) = ∛250.
