Exercise 1.1: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

Question 1:
Every rational number is
(a) a natural number (b) an integer
(c) a real number (d) a whole number
Solution:
(c) Since, real numbers are the combination of rational and irrational numbers.
Hence, every rational number is a real number.

Question 2:
Between two rational numbers
(a) there is no rational number
(b) there is exactly one rational number
(c) there are infinitely many rational numbers
(d) there are only rational numbers and no irrational numbers
Solution:
(c) Between two rational numbers, there are infinitely many rational numbers.

Question 3:
Decimal representation of a rational number cannot be
(a) terminating (b) non-terminating
(c) non-terminating repeating  (d) non-terminating non-repeating
Solution:
(d) Decimal representation of a rational number cannot be non-terminating non-repeating because the decimal expansion of rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring (repeating).

Question 4:
The product of any two irrational numbers is
(a) always an irrational number(b) always a rational number
(c) always an integer (d) sometimes rational, sometimes irrational
Solution:
(d) We know that, the product of any two irrational numbers is sometimes rational and sometimes irrational.
e.g., √2 x √2 = 2 (rational) and √2 x √3 = √6 (irrational)

The decimal expansion of the number √2 is
(a) a finite decimal (b) 1.41421
(c) non-terminating recurring     (d) non-terminating non-recurring
Solution:

The decimal expansion of the number √2 is non-terminating non-recurring. Because √2 is an irrational number.
Also, we know that an irrational number is non-terminating non-recurring.

Exercise 1.2: Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1:
Let x and y be rational and irrational numbers, respectively. Is x+y necessarily an irrational number? Give an example in support of your answer.
Solution:
Yes, (x + y) is necessarily an irrational number.

Question 2:
Let x be rational and y be irrational. Is xy necessarily irrational? Justify your answer by an example.
Solution:
No, (xy) is necessarily an irrational only when x ≠0.
Let x be a non-zero rational and y be an irrational. Then, we have to show that xy be an irrational. If possible, let xy be a rational number. Since, quotient of two non-zero rational number is a rational number.
So,(xy/x) is a rational number => y is a rational number.
But, this contradicts the fact that y is an irrational number. Thus, our supposition is wrong. Hence, xy is an irrational number. But, when x = 0, then xy = 0, a rational number.

Question 3:
State whether the following statements are true or false? Justify your answer.

Solution:
(i) False, here √2 is an irrational number and 3 is a rational number, we know that when we divide irrational number by non-zero rational number it will always give an irrational number.
(ii) False, because between two consecutive integers (likel and 2), there does not exist any other integer.
(iii) False, because between any two rational numbers there exist infinitely many rational numbers.
(iv) True, because there are infinitely many numbers which cannot be written in the form p/q, q ≠0. p,q both are integers and these numbers are called irrational numbers.

Question 4:
Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational with justification

Thinking Process
To classify, use the definition a rational number is in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0 and otherwise it is an irrational number.
Solution:

Question 4:
Represent the following numbers on the number line 7, 7.2, -3/2 and -12/5 .
Solution:
Firstly, we draw a number line whose mid-point is 0. Marks a positive numbers on right
hand side of 0 and negative numbers on left hand side of 0.

(i) Number 7 is a positive number. So we mark a number 7 on the right hand side of 0, which is a 7 units distance from zero.
(ii) Number 7.2 is a positive number. So, we mark a number 7.2 on the right hand side of 0, which is a 7.2 units distance from zero.
(iii) Number -3/2 or -1.5 is a negative number. So, we mark a number 1.5 on the left hand side of 0, which is a 1.5 units distance from zero.
(iv) Number – 12/5 or -2.4 is a negative number. So, we mark a number 2.4 on the left hand side of 0, which is a 2.4 units distance from zero.

Solution:

Question 6:
Represent geometrically the following numbers on the number line
(i) √ 4.5     (ii) √5.6
(iii) √ 8.1 (iv) √2.3
Thinking Process
(i) Firstly, we draw a line segment AB of length equal to the number inside the root and extend it to C such that BC=1
(ii) Draw a semi-circle with centre O (O is the mid-point of AC) and radius OA
(iii) Now, draw a perpendicular line from B to cut the semi-circle atD.

(iv) Further, draw an arc with centre B and radius BD meeting AC produced at £
Solution:
(i) Firstly, we draw a line segment AB = 4.5 units and extend it to C such that BC = 1 unit. Let O be the mid-point of AC.
Now, draw a semi-circle with centre O and radius OA Let us draw BD perpendicular to AC passing through point B and intersecting the semi-circle at point D.
Hence, the distance BD is √4.5 units.
Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, meeting AC produced at E, then BE = BD = √4.5 units.

(ii) Firstly, we draw a line segment AB = 5.6 units and extend it to C such that BC = 1 unit. Let O be the mid-point of AC.
Now, draw a semi-circte with centre O and radius OA. Let us draw BD perpendicular to AC passing through point B and intersecting the semi-circle at point D.
Hence, the distance BD is √5.6 units.
Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, meeting AC produced at E, then BE = BD = √5.6 units.

(iii) Firstly, we draw a line segment AB = 8.1 units and extend it toC such that SC = 1 unit. Let O be the mid-point of AC.
Now, draw a semi-circle with centre 0 and radius OA
Let us draw BD perpendicular to AC passing through point 6 intersecting the semi-circle at point D:
Hence, the distance BD is √8.1 units .
Draw an arc with centre Sand radius BD, meeting AC produced at E, then BE = BD = √8.1 units.

(iv) Firstly, we draw a line segment AS = 2.3 units and extend it to C such that SC = 1 unit. Let O be the mid-point of AC.
Now, draw a semi-circle with centre 0 and radius OA.
Let us draw BD perpendicular to AC passing through point 6 and intersecting the semi-circle at point D.
Hence, the distance BD is √2.3 units.
Draw an arc with centre 6 and radius BD, meeting AC produced at E, then BE = BD = √2.3 units.

Question 7:

Solution:

Question 8:
Show that 0.142857142857… = 1/7.
Solution:
Let x = 0.142857142857 …………………..(i)
On multiplying both sides of Eq. (i) by 1000000, we get
1000000 x = 142857.142857…………………………(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
1000000 x – x = (142857.142857…) – (0.142857..) => 999999 x = 142857
∴ x = 142857/999999 = 1/7  Hence proved.
