Q.1: Find five rational numbers between 1

and 2.
Solution:
We have to find five rational numbers
between 1 and 2.
So, let us write the numbers with
denominator 5 + 1 = 6
Thus, 6/6 = 1, 12/6 = 2
From this, we can write the five rational
numbers between 6/6 and 12/6 as:
7/6, 8/6, 9/6, 10/6, 11/6

Q.2: Find five rational numbers between 3/5

and 4/5.
Solution:

 Chapter 1 - Number System
We have to find five rational numbers
between 3/5 and 4/5.
So, let us write the given numbers by
multiplying with 6/6, (here 6 = 5 + 1)
Now,
3/5 = (3/5) × (6/6) = 18/30
4/5 = (4/5) × (6/6) = 24/30
Thus, the required five rational numbers will
be: 19/30, 20/30, 21/30, 22/30, 23/30

Q.3: Locate √3 on the number line.

Solution:

============================================

 Chapter 1 - Number System
Construct BD of unit length perpendicular to
OB (here, OA = AB = 1 unit) as shown in the
figure.
By Pythagoras theorem,
OD = √(2 + 1) = √3
Taking O as the centre and OD as radius,
draw an arc which intersects the number
line at the point Q using a compass.
Therefore, Q corresponds to the value of √3
on the number line.
Q.4: Are the square roots of all positive
integers irrational? If not, give an example
of the square root of a number that is a
rational number.
Solution:
No, since the square root of a positive
integer 16 is equal to 4. Here, 4 is a rational
number.

Q.5: Find the decimal expansions of 10/3,
7/8 and 1/7.
Solution:

Therefore, 10/3 = 3.3333…

7/8 = 0.875
1/7 = 0.1428571…

============================================

Q.6:Show that 0.3333…=0.3¯ can be expres
sed in the form p/q, where p and q are integ
ers and q≠0.
Solution:
Let x = 0.3333….
Multiply with 10,
10x = 3.3333…
Now, 3.3333… = 3 + x (as we assumed x =
0.3333…)
Thus, 10x = 3 + x
10x – x = 3
9x = 3
x = 1/3
Therefore, 0.3333… = 1/3. Here, 1/3 is in
the form of p/q and q ≠ 0.

Q.7: What can the maximum number of

digits be in the repeating block of digits in

the decimal expansion of 1/17? Perform the
division to check your answer.
Solution:

Thus, 1/17 = 0.0588235294117647….

============================================

Therefore, 1/17 has 16 digits in the
repeating block of digits in the decimal
expansion.

Q.8: Find three different irrational numbers

between the rational numbers 5/7 and 9/11.
Solution:
The given two rational numbers are 5/7 and
9/11.
5/7 = 0.714285714…..
9/11 = 0.81818181……
Hence, the three irrational numbers
between 5/7 and 9/11 can be:
0.720720072000…
0.730730073000…
0.808008000…

Q.10: Add 2√2+ 5√3 and √2 – 3√3.

Solution:

============================================
==========================

©Copyright 2024 All Rights Reserved AchDyzlern Services OPC

Pvt Ltd.
 Chapter 1 - Number System
(2√2 + 5√3) + (√2 – 3√3)
= 2√2 + 5√3 + √2 – 3√3
= (2 + 1)√2 + (5 – 3)√3
= 3√2 + 2√3

Q.11: Simplify: (√3+√7) (√3-√7).

Solution:
(√3 + √7)(√3 – √7)
Using the identity (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2,
(√3 + √7)(√3 – √7) = (√3)2 – (√7)2
=3–7
= -4

Q.12: Rationalise the denominator of

1/[7+3√3].
Solution:
1/(7 + 3√3)
By rationalizing the denominator,
============================================
==========================

 Chapter 1 - Number System
= [1/(7 + 3√3)] [(7 – 3√3)/(7 – 3√3)]
= (7 – 3√3)/[(7)2 – (3√3)2]
= (7 – 3√3)/(49 – 27)
= (7 – 3√3)/22

Q.13: Represent √(9.3) on the number line.

Solution:
Representation of √9.3 on the number line is
given below:

Q.14: Simplify:

 Chapter 1 - Number System
(i) 72/3.71/5
(ii) 101/2/101/4
Solution:
(i) 72/3.71/5
Bases are equal, so add the powers.
7(2/3 + 1/5)
= 7(10 + 3)/15
= 713/15
(ii) 101/2/101/4
Bases are equal, so subtract the powers.
= 10 (1/2 – 1/4)

= 101/4

Q.15: What is the product of a rational and

an irrational number?
a) Always an integer
b) Always a rational number
c) Always an irrational number

============================================

 Chapter 1 - Number System
d) Sometimes rational and sometimes
irrational
Correct answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
The product of a rational and an irrational
number is always an irrational number.
For example, 2 is a rational number and √3
is irrational. Thus, 2√3 is always an irrational
number.

Q.16: What is the value of (256)0.16 X

(256)0.09?
a) 4
b) 16
c) 64
d) 256.25
Correct answer: Option (a)
(256)0.16 x (256)0.09 = (256)(0.16 + 0.09)
= (256)0.25
