The objective of these exams is to build competitive spirit while evaluating stude
understanding of the concepts.

We strive to provide a superior learning experience, and this workbook is design

These questions encourage the students to think analytically, to be creative and
solutions of their own. There’s a previous year paper given at the end of this wor

Numbers are a core part of mathematics. In this workbook, the students will be i
topics related to numbers and their applications.

Natural Number

Natural numbers are a part of the number system which includes all the positive
infinity.
For example, 74 is a natural number.

Whole Number

Natural numbers including zero form the set of whole numbers.

For example: 0, 5, 14, 854, etc. are whole numbers.

Integers

√ 
Counting numbers, zero and negatives of counting numbers form the set of integ
For example, 21, 4, 0, and -2048 are integers, while 9.75, +5, and  are n

Rational Numbers

 A number ‘r’ is called a rational number if it can be written in the form 

, whe

and q ≠ 0. For example, 24 can be considered as ‘r’. It can be represented as 48

and q = 2 which is not equal to 0.

Irrational Numbers
 

 
Real Numbers

 Any number which can be represented on the number line is a Real Number (R)
rational and irrational numbers. Every point on the number line represents a uniq

Representing Real Numbers on the Number Line

To represent the real numbers on the number line we use the process of succes
which we visualise the numbers through a magnifying glass on the number line.
Example:

Mark

4.26  on the number line up to 4 decimal places.

Step 1:  The number lies between 4 and 5, so we divide it into 10 equal parts. N
decimal place, we will mark the number between 4.2 and 4.3.
Step 2:  Now we will divide it into 10 equal parts again. The second decimal plac
4.26 and 4.27.
Step 3:  Now we will again divide it into 10 equal parts. The third decimal place w
and 4.263.
Step 4:  By doing the same process again we will mark the point at 4.2626.

Laws of Exponents for Real Numbers

If a, b, m, and n are real numbers then:

am  × a n = a m+n  
(a m)n  = a mn

am bm  = (ab) m 
 

Here, a and b are the bases, and m, and n are exponents.

Exponential Representation of Irrational Numbers

Let a > 0 be a real number and p and q be rational numbers, then:

ap  × a q = a p + q

Solution 1:  c

Since there is a positive sign, by squaring both the surds, we get,
