19. Assertion: 0.468 is a terminating decimal.

Reason: A decimal in which a digit or a set of digits is repeated periodically, is called a repeating,
or a recurring decimal.
a. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
b. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c. Assertion is true but the reason is false.
d. Assertion is false but the reason is true.

20. Assertion : Every whole number is not a natural number.

Reason: Zero is a whole number but not a natural number.

21. Assertion :7√5, √2 +21 are the irrational number.

Reason: Every integer is a rational number.

22. Assertion: 6√2+7√2 is a rational number.

Reason: The sum of every rational and irrational number is irrational

23. Assertion : The rationalizing factor of 2+√5 is 2-√5.

Reason: The product or quotient of non zero rational number with irrational number is
rational.
24. Assertion :8√15 ÷2√3 =4√5.
Reason : Quotient of non zero rational number with an irrational number is irrational.

25. Assertion : Sum of two irrational numbers is an irrational number.

Reason : Sum of a rational number and an irrational numbers is always an irrational number.

45. Ruby lives in a area where there is no facility of proper education. But one thing is
available in that area i.e. network is available. Since she was very keen to take education, so
she decided to complete her education through e-learning.
