Ans : (a) 7, 13 For n = 1, 9n = 91 = 9, so 9n can end with digit 9.
Given number is 10001. Then, the factor tree of For n = 2, 9n = 92 = 81, so 9n can also end with digit
1001 is given as below 1.
Now, let if possible 9n ends with 2 for some natural
numbers n .
Then, 9n is divisible by 2.
But prime factors of 9 are 3 # 3.
n
9n = ^3 # 3h
= 32n
Thus, prime factorisation of 9n does not contain 2 as
a factor.
By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, there are
no other primes in factorisation of 9n .
Therefore, 9n is not divisible by 2. So, our assumption
is wrong.
1001 = 7 # 11 # 13 Hence, there is no natural number n for which 9n
By comparing with given factor tree, we get ends in the digit 2.

In P , the primes that occurs are 2, 3, 5, 7. Ans : (d) 345
In Q , there is no. 2 Sum is 888 & unit’s digit should add up to 8. This is

Its denominator is of the form 2m # 5n
m = 5, n = 4 are non - negative integers

Hence, assertion is true. Since reason gives assertion
(a) holds.

4. Assertion : When a positive integer a is divided by 3,

the values of remainder can be 0, 1 or 2.
Reason : According to Euclid’s Division Lemma
a = bq + r , where 0 # r 1 b and r is an integer.
Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
Given positive integers A and B, there exists unique
integers Q and R satisfying a = bq + r , where 0
# r1 b.
This is known as Euclid’s Division Lemma. So, both A
and R are correct and R explains A.

4 irrational number.

8. Assertion :
prime a is an irrational number, where a is a
number.
Reason : Square root of any prime number is an
irrational number.
Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
As we know that square root of every prime number
is an irrational number. So, both A and R are correct
and R explains A.

9. Assertion : If L.C.M. {p, q} = 30 and H.C.F. {p, q} = 5,

then p $ q = 150.
Reason : L.C.M. of (a, b) # H.C.F. of(a, b) = a $ b .
Ans : (a) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

10. Assertion : For any two positive integers a and b,

HCF a,^ b h#LCM a,^ b = a # b
Reason : The HCF of two numbers is 5 and their
product is 150. Then their LCM is 40.
Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
We have,
LCM^a, bh # HCF^a, bh = a # b
LCM # 5 = 150
150
LCM = = 30

LCM = 30,
