number.

Ans. :
a. An irrational number.

Solution:
Some numbers cannot be written as a ratio of two integers they are called
Irrational Numbers.

Page 1
 b. always rational.
c. always an integer.
d. sometimes rational and sometimes irrational.
Ans. :
d. sometimes rational and sometimes irrational.
Solution:
–
Consider, the irrational number, √3.
– –
Product = √3 × √3 = 3, which is a rational number.
– –
Consider two irrational numbers, √2 and √3.
– – –
Product = √2 × √3 = √6, which is an irrational number.
Hence, the product of two irrational numbers are sometimes rational and sometimes
irrational.
Hence, the correct opion is (d).

a. always terminating.
b. either terminating or repeating.
c. either terminating or non-repeating.
d. neither terminating nor repeating.
Ans. :
b. either terminating or repeating.
Solution:
p
The numbers of the form q
, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, are known as
rational numbers.

Page 2
 Decimal representation of a rational number is either terminating or a repeating
p
decimal, since every decimal of this form can be expressed in the form q
.

Hence, the correct opion is (b).

√3

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

10. Between any two rational numbers there:
a. is no rational number.
b. is exactly one rational numbers.
c. are infinitely many rational numbers.

Page 3
 d. is no irrational number.
Ans. :
c. are infinitely many rational numbers.
Solution:
Options (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect since between two rational numbers there are
infinitely many rational and irrational numbers.
Hence, the correct opion is (c).

1.323

Let x = 1.32323 ...(i)

we multiply x by 10.
10x = 13.2323 ...(ii)
Again multiplying by 100 as there are 2 repeating numbers after decimals we get
1000x = 1323.2323 ...(iii)
Subtracting (ii) from (iii) we get
990x = 1310
