(i) Observe and complete:1 + 3 = ?5 + 11 = ?21 + 47 = ?___ + ____ = ?From this observation, we conclude that “the sum of any two odd numbers is always an _____”(ii) Observe and complete:5 × 3 = ?7 × 9 = ?11 × 13 = ?_____ × ____ = ?From this observation, we conclude that “the product of any two odd numbers is always an _____”Justify the following statements with appropriate examples:(iii) The sum of an odd number and an even number is always an odd number.(iv) The product of an odd and an even number is always an even number.(v) The product of only three odd numbers is always an odd number. |
Answer» (i) 1 + 3 = 4 An odd number + another odd number = An Even number From this observation, we conclude that the sum of any two odd numbers is always an even number. (ii) 5 × 3 = 15 An odd number × Another odd number = An odd number From this observation, we conclude that “the product of any two odd numbers is always an odd number.” (iii) Take the odd number 5 and the even number 10 Their sum = 5 + 10 = 15, which is odd. ∴ Sum of an odd number and an even number is always an odd number. (iv) Take the odd number 5 and the even number 10. Their product = 5 × 10 = 50, which is even Thus the product of an odd and an even number is always an even number. (v) Consider 7 × 5 × 3 We know that the product of any two odd numbers is an odd number 7 × 5 = 35, odd number. Also we have 35 × 3 = 105 ∴ 7 × 5 × 3 = 105, an odd number. So the product of three odd numbers is always an odd number. |

Identify the following as rational or irrational numbers. Give the decimal representation of rational numbers:(i) \(\sqrt4\)(ii) \(3\sqrt{18}\)(iii) \(\sqrt{1.44}\)(iv) \({\sqrt\frac{6}{27}}\)(v) \(\sqrt{64}\)(vi) \(\sqrt{100}\) |
Answer» (i) \(\sqrt4 = 2 = \frac{2}{1}\) \(\sqrt4\) can be written in the form of \(\frac{p}q\), so it is a rational number. Its decimal expansion is 2.0 (ii) \(3\sqrt{18}\) \(= 3\sqrt{{2 \times 3\times 3}}\) \(=3 \times 3 \sqrt2\) \(= 9\sqrt2\) Since, the product of a rational and an irrational is an irrational number. Therefore,\(9\sqrt2\) is an irrational; \(3\sqrt{18}\) is an irrational number (iii) We have, \(\sqrt{1.44}\) \(= \frac{12}{10}\) = 1.2 Every terminating decimal is a rational number, so 1.2 is a rational number. (iv) we have, \(\sqrt\frac{9}{27}\) \(= \frac{3}{\sqrt{27}}\) \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{3\times 3\times 3}}\) \(= \frac{1}{3}\) Quotient of a rational and an irrational number is irrational number. Therefore, it is an irrational number. (v) -\(\sqrt{64}\) \(= - \sqrt{8\times8}\) = - 8 = -8/1 AS it can be expressed in the form of \(\frac{p}q,\) so it is a rational number (vi) \(\sqrt{100}\) = 10 = \(\frac{10}{1}\) Thus it can be expressed in the form of \(\frac{p}q,\) so it is a rational number. |
|
386. |
State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).Predecessor of a two-digit number is always a two-digit number. |

|
387. |
Explain, how irrational numbers differ from rational numbers? |
Answer» A number which can neither be expressed as a terminating decimal nor as a repeating decimal is called an irrational number. For example, 0.33033003300033… On the other hand, every rational number is expressible either as a terminating decimal or as a repeating decimal. For example, 3.24̅and 6.2876 are rational numbers. |

The product of successor and predecessor of 999 is(A) 999000 (B) 998000 (C) 989000 (D) 1998 |
Answer» (B) 998000 The number which comes immediately before a particular number is called its predecessor. The successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to it. So, Successor of 999 = 999 + 1 = 1000 Predecessor = 999 – 1 = 998 Then, product of successor and predecessor of 999 is = 1000 × 998 = 998000 |
