HOTS :

21. The denominator of a rational number is 2 more than its numerator. If the numerator is decreased by 3
and the denominator is increased by 3, the new rational number becomes . Find the rational number.
22. Raj went to the market to buy a radio. But he only had an amount which is equal to of the cost of
the radio. If the money he had with him is Rs 300, then find the cost of the radio.

SECTION D : CASE STUDY


23. Ravi and Priya are discussing rational numbers. Ravi says that if you multiply any rational number by
its reciprocal, the answer is always 1.
Priya says that this is not true for all rational numbers.
They decide to test this using various examples, including 0, and .

Questions:
(i) Who is correct—Ravi or Priya? Justify your answer.
(ii) What happens when zero is multiplied by its reciprocal?
(iii) Why can’t zero have a reciprocal?

SECTION E : Assertion Reason Questions

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of


reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

24. Assertion: Zero is a rational number.


Reason: Zero can be expressed as the ratio of two integers where the denominator is zero.

25. Assertion: Every integer is a rational number.


Reason: Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form where q ≠ 0.
