Answer:

Euclid's division algorithm states that for any two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r, such that a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b.

Answer:

We know, Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder
 Given: Divisor = 61, Quotient = 27, Remainder = 32
Let the Dividend be x.
∴ x = $61 \times 27 + 32$
        = 1679
Hence, the required number is 1679.

Answer:

Given: Dividend = 1365, Quotient = 31, Remainder = 32
Let the divisor be x.
Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder
                       1365 =  x $\times$ 31 + 32
   ⇒                1365 − 32 = 31x
   ⇒                      1333 = 31x

   ⇒                        x = $\frac{1333}{31}$ = 43
Hence, 1365 should be divided by 43 to get 31 as quotient and 32 as remainder.

Answer:

(i)

On applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 2520 by 405, we get:
         Quotient = 6, Remainder = 90
         ∴ 2520 = 405 $\times$ 6 + 90
   Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 405 by 90, we get:
          Quotient = 4, Remainder = 45
          ∴ 405 = 90 $\times$ 4 + 45
      Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 90 by 45, we get:
         ∴ 90 = 45 $\times$ 2 + 0                                                                      
                                                                                                                      
Hence, the HCF of 2520 and 405 is 45.

(ii)

On applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 1188 by 504, we get:
       Quotient = 2, Remainder = 180
         ∴ 1188 = 504 $\times$ 2 +180                                 
    Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 504 by 180, we get:                           
        Quotient = 2, Remainder = 144                             
            ∴ 504 = 180$\times$ 2 + 144                                       
   Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 180 by 144, we get:                        
        Quotient = 1, Remainder = 36                                        
              ∴ 180 = 144 $\times$ 1 + 36                                          
 Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 144 by 36, we get:                         
             ∴ 144 = 36 $\times$ 4 + 0                                               

Hence, the HCF of 1188 and 504 is 36.  
                                                                                                 
(iii)

On applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 1575 by 960, we get:
         Quotient = 1, Remainder = 615           
        ∴ 1575 = 960 $\times$ 1 + 615                          
    Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 960 by 615, we get:                         
       Quotient = 1, Remainder = 345                   
        ∴ 960 = 615 $\times$ 1 + 345                         
  Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 615 by 345, we get:                     
     Quotient = 1, Remainder = 270                                       
       ∴ 615 = 345 $\times$ 1 + 270                     
 Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 345 by 270, we get:                   
    Quotient = 1, Remainder = 75        
      ∴ 345 = 270 $\times$ 1 + 75                        
Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 270 by 75, we get:                                       
   Quotient = 3, Remainder = 45                                                                                   
      ∴270 = 75 $\times$ 3 + 45                                                                 
 Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 75 by 45, we get:                          
   Quotient = 1,  Remainder = 30                                                                                                
     ∴ 75  = 45 $\times$ 1 + 30                                                                                             
Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 45 by 30, we get:
  Quotient = 1, Remainder = 15
     ∴ 45  = 30 $\times$ 1 + 15
Again on applying Euclid's algorithm, i.e. dividing 30 by 15, we get:
 Quotient = 2, Remainder = 0
   ∴ 30 = 15 $\times$ 2 + 0

Hence, the HCF of 960 and 1575 is 15.                                                                              

Answer:

Let us assume that there exist a smallest positive integer that is neither odd nor even, say n. Since n is the least positive integer which is neither even nor odd, n − 1 must be either odd or even.

Case 1: If n − 1 is even, n − 1 = 2k for some k.
             But this implies n = 2k + 1
             this implies n is odd.

Case 2: If n − 1 is odd, n − 1 = 2k + 1 for some k.
             But this implies n = 2k + 2 = 2(k + 1)
             this implies n is even.

In both ways we have a contradiction.
Thus, every positive integer is either even or odd.

Answer:

Let n be any arbitrary positive odd integer.
On dividing n by 6, let m be the quotient and r be the remainder. So, by Euclid's division lemma, we have

n = 6m + r, where 0 ≤ r < 6.

As 0 ≤ r < 6 and r is an integer, r can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
⇒ n = 6m or n = 6m + 1 or n = 6m + 2 or n = 6m + 3 or n = 6m + 4 or n = 6m + 5

But n ≠ 6m or n ≠ 6m + 2 or n ≠ 6m + 4 (∵ 6m, 6m + 2, 6m + 4 are multiples of 2, so an even interger whereas n is an odd integer)

⇒ n = 6m + 1 or n = 6m + 3 or n = 6m + 5

Thus, any positive odd integer is of the form (6m + 1) or (6m + 3) or (6m + 5), where m is some integer.

Answer:

Let n be any arbitrary positive odd integer.
On dividing n by 4, let m be the quotient and r be the remainder. So, by Euclid's division lemma, we have

n = 4m + r, where 0 ≤ r < 4.

As 0 ≤ r < 4 and r is an integer, r can take values 0, 1, 2, 3.
⇒ n = 4m or n = 4m + 1 or n = 4m + 2 or n = 4m + 3

But n ≠ 4m or n ≠ 4m + 2 (∵ 4m, 4m + 2 are multiples of 2, so an even interger whereas n is an odd integer)

⇒ n = 4m + 1 or n = 4m + 3

Thus, any positive odd integer is of the form (4m + 1) or (4m + 3), where m is some integer.

Answer:

Let the two numbers be a and b.
​Let the value of a be 161.
Given: HCF = 23 and LCM = 1449
we know,        a × b = HCF â€‹× LCM 
            ⇒     161 × b = 23 × 1449

   Hence, the other number b is 207.

Answer:

HCF of two numbers = 145
LCM of two numbers = 2175
Let one of the two numbers be 725 and other be x.

Using the formula, Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
we conclude that

Hence, the other number is 435.

   = 720

Hence, their LCM is 720.

Answer:

​No, it is not possible to have two numbers whose HCF is 18 and LCM is 760.

Since, HCF must be a factor of LCM, but 18 is not a factor of 760.

Answer:

(i) Prime factorisation of 69 and 92 is:

69 = 3 × 23
92 = 2² × 23

Therefore, $\frac{69}{92}=\frac{3\times 23}{2^2\times 23}=\frac{3}{2^2}=\frac{3}{4}$
Thus, simplest form of $\frac{69}{92}$ is $\frac{3}{4}$.

(ii) Prime factorisation of 473 and 645 is:

473 = 11 × 43
645 = 3 × 5 × 43

Therefore, $\frac{473}{645}=\frac{11\times 43}{3\times 5\times 43}=\frac{11}{15}$
Thus, simplest form of $\frac{473}{645}$ is $\frac{11}{15}$.

(iii) Prime factorisation of 1095 and 1168 is:

1095 = 3 × 5 × 73
1168 = 2⁴ × 73

Therefore, $\frac{1095}{1168}=\frac{3\times 5\times 73}{2^4\times 73}=\frac{15}{16}$
Thus, simplest form of $\frac{1095}{1168}$ is $\frac{15}{16}$.

(iv) Prime factorisation of 368 and 496 is:

368 = 2⁴ × 23
496 = 2⁴ × 31

Therefore, $\frac{368}{496}=\frac{2^4\times 23}{2^4\times 31}=\frac{23}{31}$
Thus, simplest form of $\frac{368}{496}$ is $\frac{23}{31}$.

Answer:

Largest number which divides 438 and 606, leaving remainder 6 is actually the largest number which divides 438 − 6 = 432 and 606 − 6 = 600, leaving remainder 0.

Therefore, HCF of 432 and 600 gives the largest number.

Now, prime factors of 432 and 600 are:
432 = 2⁴ × 3³ 
600 = 2³ × 3 × 5²

HCF = product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 2³ × 3 = 24

Thus, the largest number which divides 438 and 606, leaving remainder 6 is 24.

Answer:

We know that the required number divides 315 (320 − 5) and 450 (457 − 7).
∴ Required number = HCF (315, 450)
On applying Euclid's lemma, we get:
                              315) 450 (1
                                     −​ 315  
                                       135) 315 (2
                                           −   270 
                                                 45) 135 (3
                                                     −​ 135 
                                                          0
Therefore, the HCF of 315 and 450 is 45.
Hence, the required number is 45.

Answer:

Least number which can be divided by 35, 56 and 91 is LCM of 35, 56 and 91.

Prime factorization of 35, 56 and 91 is:

35 = 5 × 7
56 = 2³ × 7
91 = 7 × 13

LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 2³ × 5 × 7 × 13 = 3640

Least number which can be divided by 35, 56 and 91 is 3640.

Least number which when divided by 35, 56 and 91 leaves the same remainder 7 is 3640 + 7 = 3647.

Thus, the required number is 3647.

Answer:

Let the required number be x.

Using Euclid's lemma,
x = 28p + 8 and x = 32q + 12, where p and q are the quotients
⇒ 28p + 8 = 32q + 12
⇒ 28p = 32q + 4
⇒ 7p = 8q + 1 ..... (1)

Here p = 8n − 1 and q = 7n − 1 satisfies (1), where n is a natural number
On putting n = 1, we get
p = 8 − 1 = 7 and q = 7 − 1 = 6

Thus, x = 28p + 8
             = 28 × 7 + 8
             = 204

Hence, the smallest number which when divided by 28 and 32 leaves remainders 8 and 12 is 204.

Answer:

The smallest number which when increased by 17 is exactly divisible by both 468 and 520 is obtained by subtracting 17 from the LCM of 468 and 520.

Prime factorization of 468 and 520 is:
468 = 2² × 3² × 13
520 = 2³ × 5 × 13

LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 2³ × 3² × 5 × 13 = 4680

The required number is 4680 − 17 = 4663.

Hence, the smallest number which when increased by 17 is exactly divisible by both 468 and 520 is 4663.

Answer:

Prime factorization:

15 = 3 × 5
24 = 2³ × 3
36 = 2² × 3²

LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 2³ × 3² × 5 = 360

Now, the greatest four digit number is 9999.
On dividing 9999 by 360 we get 279 as remainder.
Thus, 9999 − 279 = 9720 is exactly divisible by 360.

Hence, the greatest number of four digits which is exactly divisible by 15, 24 and 36 is 9720.

Answer:

Minimum number of rooms required = $\frac{\mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{participants}}{\mathrm{HCF}(60,84,108)}$

Prime factorization of 60, 84 and 108 is:

60 = 2² × 3 × 5
84 = 2² × 3 × 7
108 = 2² × 3³

HCF = product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 2² × 3 = 12

Total number of paricipants = 60 + 84 + 108 = 252

Therefore, minimum number of rooms required = $\frac{252}{12}=21$

Thus, minimum number of rooms required is 21.

Answer:

Total number of English books = 336
Total number of mathematics books = 240
Total number of science books = 96
∴ Number of books stored in each stack = HCF (336, 240, 96) 
Prime factorisation:
336 = $2^4 \times 3 \times 7$
240 = $2^4 \times 3 \times 5$
96 = $2^5 \times 3$
∴ HCF = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers = $2^4 \times 3$ = 48
Hence, we made stacks of 48 books each.

∴ Number of stacks = $\frac{336}{48} + \frac{240}{48} + \frac{ 96}{48}$ = (7 + 5 + 2) = 14

Answer:

The lengths of three pieces of timber are 42 m, 49 m and 63 m, respectively.
We have to divide the timber into equal length of planks.
∴ Greatest possible length of each plank = HCF(42, 49, 63)
Prime factorisation:
42 = $2 \times 3 \times 7$
49 = $7 \times 7$
63 = $3 \times 3 \times 7$
∴ HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 7
Hence, the greatest possible length of each plank is 7 m.

Answer:

The three given lengths are 7 m (700 cm), 3 m 85 cm  (385 cm) and 12 m 95 cm (1295 cm).   (∵ 1 m = 100 cm)
∴ Required length = HCF (700, 385, 1295)
Prime factorisation:
700 = $2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 7 = 2^2 \times 5^2 \times 7$
385 = $5 \times 7 \times 11$
1295 = $5 \times 7 \times 37$
∴ HCF = $5 \times 7$ = 35
Hence, the greatest possible length is 35 cm.

Answer:

Total number of pens = 1001
Total number of pencils = 910
∴​ Maximum number of students who get the same number of pens and pencils = HCF (1001, 910)
Prime factorisation:
1001 = $11\times 91$
  910 = $10\times 91$
∴ HCF = 91
Hence, 91 students receive same number of pens and pencils.

Answer:

It is given that:
Length of a tile = 15 m 17 cm = 1517 cm                  [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
Breadth of a tile = 9 m 2 cm = 902 cm
∴ Side of each square tile = HCF (1517, 902)
Prime factorisation:
1517 = $37 \times 41$                                                                                                             
902 = $22 \times 41$                                                                                          
∴ HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 41             
∴ Required number of tiles = $\frac{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{ceiling}}{\mathrm{Area} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{one} \mathrm{tile}}$ = $\frac{1517 \times 902}{41 \times 41}$ = $37 \times 22$ = 814

Answer:

Length of the three measuring rods are 64 cm, 80 cm and 96 cm, respectively.
∴ Length of cloth that can be measured an exact number of times = LCM (64, 80, 96) 
Prime factorisation:
64 = $2^6$
80 = $2^4 \times 5$
96 = $2^5 \times 3$
∴ LCM = Product of greatest power of  each prime factor involved in the numbers = $2^{6 }\times 3 \times 5$ = 960 cm = 9.6 m
Hence, the required length of cloth is 9.6 m.

Answer:

Beep duration of first device = 60 seconds
Beep duration of second device = 62 seconds
∴ Interval of beeping together = LCM (60, 62) 
Prime factorisation:
60 = $2^2 \times 3 \times 5$
62 = $2 \times 31$
∴ LCM = $2^{2 }\times 3 \times 5 \times 31 = 1860$ seconds = $\frac{1860}{60}$ = 31 min
Hence, they will beep together again at 10 : 31 a.m.

Answer:

Six bells toll together at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 minutes, respectively.
Prime factorisation:
$$\begin{gathered} 2 = 2 \\ 4 = 2 \times 2 \\ 6 = 2 \times 3 \\ 8 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \\ 10 = 2 \times 5 \\ 12 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \end{gathered}$$

∴ ​$LCM ( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 )$ = $2^3 \times 3 \times 5 = 120$
Hence, after every 120 minutes (i.e. 2 hours), they will toll together.
∴ Required number of times = $(\frac{30}{2} + 1) = 16$

(i) Let x = 0.8
   ∴ x = 0.888                                             ...(1)
         10x = 8.888                                        ...(2)
On subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get
      9x = 8  ⇒ x = $\frac{8}{9}$ 
                 
∴ 0.8  = $\frac{8}{9}$
                        
(ii) Let x = 2.4

On subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get
          9x = 22 ⇒ x = $\frac{22}{9}$
                 
∴ 2.4 = $\frac{22}{9}$
                          
(iii) Let x = 0.24
    ∴​ x = 0.2424                                   ...(1)
            100x = 24.2424                       ...(2)
 On subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get

          10x = 3.656565                       ...(2)
        1000x = 365.656565                 ...(3)
  On subtracting (2) from (3), we get
    990x = 362  ⇒ x = $\frac{362 }{990}= \frac{181}{495}$

(x) $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is an irrational number because 3 is a prime number. So, $\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

Answer:

(i) Let $\sqrt{6} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3}$ be rational.
   Hence,  $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}$ are both rational.
   This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}$ are irrational.
   The contradiction arises by assuming $\sqrt{6}$ is rational.
  Hence, $\sqrt{6}$ is irrational.

(ii) Let $2 - \sqrt{3}$ be rational.
    Hence, $2$ and $2 - \sqrt{3}$ are rational.
    ∴ $(2 - 2 + \sqrt{3}) = \sqrt{3}$ = rational   [∵ Difference of two rational is rational]
     This contradicts  the fact that $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational.
     The contradiction arises by assuming $2 - \sqrt{3}$ is rational.
Hence, $2 - \sqrt{3}$ is irrational.

(iii) Let $3 + \sqrt{2}$ be rational.
  Hence, $3$ and $3 + \sqrt{2}$ are rational.
    ∴ $3 + \sqrt{2} - 3 = \sqrt{2}$ = rational   [∵ Difference of two rational is rational]
     This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
     The contradiction arises by assuming $3 + \sqrt{2}$ is rational.
    Hence, $3 + \sqrt{2}$ is irrational.

(iv) Let $2 + \sqrt{5}$ be rational.
  Hence, $2 + \sqrt{5}$ and $\sqrt{5}$ are rational.  
     ∴ $(2 + \sqrt{5 }) -2= 2 + \sqrt{5} - 2 = \sqrt{5}$ = rational         [∵ Difference of two rational is rational]
       This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{5}$ is irrational.
    The contradiction arises by assuming $2 -\sqrt{5}$ is rational.
   Hence, $2 - \sqrt{5}$ is irrational.

(v) Let, $5 + 3\sqrt{2}$ be rational.
      Hence, $5$ and $5 + 3\sqrt{2}$ are rational.
     ∴ $(5 + 3\sqrt{2} - 5) = 3\sqrt{2}$ = rational       [∵ Difference of two rational is rational]
       ∴ $\frac{1}{3}\times 3\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}$ = rational            [∵ Product of two rational is rational]
      This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
      The contradiction arises by assuming $5 + 3\sqrt{2}$ is rational.
     Hence, $5 + 3\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.

(vi) Let $3\sqrt{7}$ be rational.
      ∴ $\frac{1}{3}\times 3\sqrt{7} = \sqrt{7}$ = rational           [∵ Product of two rational is rational]
    This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{7}$ is irrational.
    The contradiction arises by assuming $3\sqrt{7}$ is rational.
    Hence, $3\sqrt{7}$ is irrational.

(vii) Let $\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ be rational.
     ∴ $\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$ = rational         [∵ Product of two rational is rational]
   This contradicts the fact that $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$ is irrational.
∴ $\frac{1\times \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}\times \sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{5}$
So, if $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$ is rational, then $\frac{1}{5}\sqrt{5}$ is rational.
∴ $5 \times \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{5} = \sqrt{5}$ = rational           [∵ Product of two rational is rational]
  Hence, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$ is irrational.
The contradiction arises by assuming $\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ is rational.
Hence, $\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ is irrational.

(viii) Let $2 - 3\sqrt{5}$ be rational.
      Hence $2$ and $2 - 3\sqrt{5}$ are rational.
 ∴ $2 -(2 - 3\sqrt{5} ) = 2 - 2 + 3\sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{5}$ = rational   [∵ Difference of two rational is rational]
 ∴ $\frac{1}{3}\times 3\sqrt{5} = \sqrt{5}$ = rational                                      [∵ Product of two rational is rational]
This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{5}$ is irrational.
The contradiction arises by assuming $2 - 3\sqrt{5}$ is rational.
Hence, $2 - 3\sqrt{5}$ is irrational.

(ix) Let $\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}$ be rational.
    ∴ $\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5} = a$, where $a$ is rational
                    ∴  $\sqrt{3} = a - \sqrt{5}$                                ... (1)
   On squaring both sides of equation (1), we get
                              $3 = ( a - \sqrt{5}{)}^2 = a^2 + 5 - 2\sqrt{5}a$ 
  ⇒                       $\sqrt{5} = \frac{a^2+2}{2a}$     
This is impossible because right-hand side is rational, whereas the left-hand side is irrational.
This is a contradiction.
Hence, $\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}$ is irrational.                                                                                              

Answer:

Let $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ be rational.
∴ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a, b$ are positive integers having no common factor other than 1
∴ $\sqrt{3} = \frac{b}{a}$                           ...(1)
Since $a, b$ are non-zero integers, $\frac{b}{a}$ is rational.
Thus, equation (1)  shows that $\sqrt{3}$ is rational.
This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt{3}$ is rational.
The contradiction arises by assuming $\sqrt{3}$ is rational.
Hence, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ is irrational.

(v) True
(vi) True

Answer:

Let x = $2\sqrt{3}-1$ be a rational number.

$$\begin{gathered} x=2\sqrt{3}-1 \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(2\sqrt{3}-1\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(2\sqrt{3}\right)}^2+1^2-2\left(2\sqrt{3}\right)\left(1\right) \\ \Rightarrow x^2=12+1-4\sqrt{3} \\ \Rightarrow x^2-13=-4\sqrt{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{13-x^2}{4}=\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}$$
Since x is a rational number, x² is also a rational number.
⇒ 13 − x² is a rational number
⇒ $\frac{13-x^2}{4}$ is a rational number
⇒ $\sqrt{3}$ is a rational number
But $\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number, which is a contradiction.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus,  ($2\sqrt{3}-1$) is an irrational number.

Answer:

​Let x = $4-5\sqrt{2}$ be a rational number.

$$\begin{gathered} x=4-5\sqrt{2} \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(4-5\sqrt{2}\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(4\right)}^2+{\left(5\sqrt{2}\right)}^2-2\left(4\right)\left(5\sqrt{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow x^2=16+50-40\sqrt{2} \\ \Rightarrow x^2-66=-40\sqrt{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{66-x^2}{40}=\sqrt{2} \end{gathered}$$
Since x is a rational number, x² is also a rational number.
⇒ 66 − x² is a rational number
⇒ $\frac{66-x^2}{40}$ is a rational number
⇒ $\sqrt{2}$ is a rational number
But $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number, which is a contradiction.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus,  ($4-5\sqrt{2}$) is an irrational number.

Answer:

​​Let x = $5-2\sqrt{3}$ be a rational number.

$$\begin{gathered} x=5-2\sqrt{3} \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(5-2\sqrt{3}\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow x^2={\left(5\right)}^2+{\left(2\sqrt{3}\right)}^2-2\left(5\right)\left(2\sqrt{3}\right) \\ \Rightarrow x^2=25+12-20\sqrt{3} \\ \Rightarrow x^2-37=-20\sqrt{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{37-x^2}{20}=\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}$$
Since x is a rational number, x² is also a rational number.
⇒ 37 − x² is a rational number
⇒ $\frac{37-x^2}{20}$ is a rational number
⇒ $\sqrt{3}$ is a rational number
But $\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number, which is a contradiction.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus,  ($5-2\sqrt{3}$) is an irrational number.

Answer:

Let $5\sqrt{2}$ is a rational number.

∴ $5\sqrt{2}=\frac{p}{q}$, where p and q are some integers and HCF(p, q) = 1    ....(1)
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 5\sqrt{2}q=p \\ \Rightarrow {\left(5\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2=p^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2\left(25q^2\right)=p^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ p² is divisible by 2
⇒ p is divisible by 2  .....(2)

Let p = 2m, where m is some integer.

∴ $5\sqrt{2}q=2m$
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow {\left(5\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2={\left(2m\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2\left(25q^2\right)=4m^2 \\ \Rightarrow 25q^2=2m^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ q² is divisible by 2
⇒ q is divisible by 2   .....(3)

From (2) and (3), 2 is a common factor of both p and q, which contradicts (1).
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus, $5\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.

Answer:

 $\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}\times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{2}{7}\sqrt{7}$
​Let $\frac{2}{7}\sqrt{7}$ is a rational number.

∴ $\frac{2}{7}\sqrt{7}=\frac{p}{q}$, where p and q are some integers and HCF(p, q) = 1    ....(1)
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 2\sqrt{7}q=7p \\ \Rightarrow {\left(2\sqrt{7}q\right)}^2={\left(7p\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 7\left(4q^2\right)=49p^2 \\ \Rightarrow 4q^2=7p^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ q² is divisible by 7
⇒ q is divisible by 7  .....(2)

Let q = 7m, where m is some integer.

∴ $2\sqrt{7}q=7p$
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow {\left[2\sqrt{7}\left(7m\right)\right]}^2={\left(7p\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 343\left(4m^2\right)=49p^2 \\ \Rightarrow 7\left(4m^2\right)=p^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ p² is divisible by 7
⇒ p is divisible by 7   .....(3)

From (2) and (3), 7 is a common factor of both p and q, which contradicts (1).
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus, $\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}$ is irrational.

Prime factorization:

360 = 2³ × 3² × 5

Answer:

Prime factorization:
a = a
b = b

HCF = product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 1

Thus, HCF(a, b) = 1

Answer:

Prime factorization:
a = a
b = b

LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = a × b

Thus, LCM(a, b) = ab.

Answer:

HCF of two numbers = 25
Product of two numbers = 1050
Let their LCM be x.

Using the formula, Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
we conclude that,

1050 = 25 × x
x = $\frac{1050}{25}$
   = 42

Hence, their LCM is 42.

Answer:

A composite number is a positive integer which is not prime (i.e., which has factors other than 1 and itself).

Answer:

If two numbers are relatively prime then their greatest common factor will be 1.

Thus, HCF(a, b) = 1.

Answer:

Let x be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates.
Then, we can express x in the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where a and b are coprime, and prime factorization of b is of the form (2^m × 5ⁿ), where m and n are non negative integers.

Answer:

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2\sqrt{45}+3\sqrt{20}}{2\sqrt{5}}=\frac{2\sqrt{3\times 3\times 5}+3\sqrt{2\times 2\times 5}}{2\sqrt{5}} \\ =\frac{2\times 3\sqrt{5}+3\times 2\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{5}} \\ =\frac{6\sqrt{5}+6\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{5}} \\ =\frac{12\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{5}} \\ =6 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, simplified form of $\frac{2\sqrt{45}+3\sqrt{20}}{2\sqrt{5}}$ is 6.

Answer:

Decimal expansion:
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{73}{\left(2^4\times 5^3\right)}=\frac{73\times 5}{2^4\times 5^4} \\ =\frac{365}{{\left(2\times 5\right)}^4} \\ =\frac{365}{{\left(10\right)}^4} \\ =\frac{365}{10000} \\ =0.0365 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the decimal expansion of $\frac{73}{\left(2^4\times 5^3\right)}$ is 0.0365.

Answer:

We can write:
(2ⁿ × 5ⁿ) = (2 × 5)ⁿ
              = 10ⁿ

For any value of n, we get 0 in the end.

Thus, there is no value of n for which (2ⁿ × 5ⁿ) ends in 5.

Answer:

​No, it is not possible to have two numbers whose HCF is 25 and LCM is 520.

Since, HCF must be a factor of LCM, but 25 is not a factor of 520.

Answer:

Let the two irrationals be $4-\sqrt{5} \mathrm{and} 4+\sqrt{5}$.

$\left(4-\sqrt{5}\right)+\left(4+\sqrt{5}\right)=8$

​Thus, sum (i.e., 8) is a rational number.

Answer:

​​Let the two irrationals be $4\sqrt{5} \mathrm{and} 3\sqrt{5}$.

$\left(4\sqrt{5}\right)\times \left(3\sqrt{5}\right)=60$

​Thus, product (i.e., 60) is a rational number.

Answer:

If two numbers are relatively prime then their greatest common factor will be 1.

∴ HCF(a, b) = 1

Using the formula, Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
we conclude that,

a × b = 1 × LCM
∴ LCM = ab

Thus, LCM(a, b) is ab.

Answer:

If the LCM of two numbers is 1200 then, it is not possible to have their HCF equals to 500.

Since, HCF must be a factor of LCM, but 500 is not a factor of 1200.

Answer:

Let x be $0.\overline{4}$.

$x=0.\overline{4}$  .....(1)
Multiplying both sides by 10, we get
$10x=4.\overline{4}$  .....(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
$$\begin{gathered} 10x-x=4.\overline{4}-0.\overline{4} \\ \Rightarrow 9x=4 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{4}{9} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, simplest form of $0.\overline{4}$ as a rational number is $\frac{4}{9}$.

Answer:

​Let x be $0.\overline{23}$.

$x=0.\overline{23}$  .....(1)
Multiplying both sides by 100, we get
$100x=23.\overline{23}$  .....(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
$$\begin{gathered} 100x-x=23.\overline{23}-0.\overline{23} \\ \Rightarrow 99x=23 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{23}{99} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, simplest form of $0.\overline{23}$ as a rational number is $\frac{23}{99}$.

Answer:

Irrational numbers are non-terminating non-recurring decimals.

Thus, 0.15015001500015 ... is an irrational number.

Answer:

Let $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ is a rational number.

∴ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}=\frac{p}{q}$, where p and q are some integers and HCF(p, q) = 1   ....(1)

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \sqrt{2}q=3p \\ \Rightarrow {\left(\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2={\left(3p\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2q^2=9p^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ p² is divisible by 2
⇒ p is divisible by 2   ....(2)

Let p = 2m, where m is some integer.

∴ $\sqrt{2}q=3p$
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \sqrt{2}q=3\left(2m\right) \\ \Rightarrow {\left(\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2={\left(3\left(2m\right)\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2q^2=4\left(9p^2\right) \\ \Rightarrow q^2=2\left(9p^2\right) \end{gathered}$$
⇒ q² is divisible by 2
⇒ q is divisible by 2   ....(3)

From (2) and (3), 2 is a common factor of both p and q, which contradicts (1).
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus, $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ is irrational.

Answer:

Since, $\sqrt{3}$ = 1.732....
So, we may take 1.8 as the required rational number between $\sqrt{3} \mathrm{and} 2.$

Thus, the required rational number is 1.8

Answer:

Since, $3.\overline{1416}$ is a non-terminating repeating decimal.

Hence, is a rational number.

Answer:

(c) $\frac{3219}{1800}$

 $\frac{1351}{1250} = \frac{1351}{5^4 \times 2}$
   We know 2 and 5 are not the factors of 1351.
   So, the given rational is in its simplest form.
And it is of the form $(2^{m }\times 5^n)$ for some integers $m , n$.
  So, the given number is a terminating decimal.
   ∴ $\frac{1351}{5^4 \times 2}= \frac{1351 \times 2}{5^4 \times 2^4} = \frac{10808}{10000} = 1.0808$

 $\frac{2017}{250}$ = $\frac{2017}{5^3 \times 2}$
     We know 2 and 5 are not the factors of 2017.
    So, the given rational number is in its simplest form.
And it is of the form $(2^{m }\times 5^n)$ for some integers $m , n$.
     So, the given rational number is a terminating decimal.
    ∴ $\frac{2017}{5^3 \times 2} = \frac{2017 \times 2^2}{5^3 \times 2^3} = \frac{8068}{1000} = 8.068$

 $\frac{3219}{1800} = \frac{3219}{2^3 \times 5^2 \times 3^2}$
     We know 2, 3 and 5 are not the factors of 3219.
     So, the given rational number is in its simplest form.
  ∴ $(2^3 \times 5^2 \times 3^2)$ ≠ $(2^m \times 5^n)$
  Hence, $\frac{3219}{1800}$ is not a terminating decimal.
$\frac{3219}{1800}= 1.78833333.....$
Thus, it is a repeating decimal.

 $\frac{1723}{625 } = \frac{1723}{5^4}$
    We know 5 is not a factor of 1723.
    So, the given rational number is in its simplest form.
   And it is not of the form $(2^{m }\times 5^{n })$.
   Hence, $\frac{1723}{650}$ is not a terminating decimal.

Answer:

(b) 180
It is given that:
a = $(2^2 \times 3^3 \times 5^4)$ and b = ($2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5$)
∴ HCF (a, b) = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers

HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers
         = $2^{ 2} \times 3 \times 5$
         = 60

Answer:

(c) 1680

LCM ($2^3 \times 3 \times 5$, $2^4 \times 5 \times 7$) 
∴​ LCM = Product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers
             = $2^4 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7$
             = $16 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7$
             = 1680

Answer:

(d) 81
Let the two numbers be x and y.
It is given that:
x = 54
​HCF = 27
LCM = 162
We know,
  x $\times$ y = HCF $\times$ LCM
$\Rightarrow$54 $\times$ y = 27 $\times$ 162
$\Rightarrow$  54y = 4374
     $\Rightarrow$   ∴​ y = $\frac{4374}{54}$ = 81

Answer:

(c) 320
Let the two numbers be x and y.
It is given that:
        x $\times$ y = 1600
          HCF = 5
We know,
                 HCF $\times$ LCM = x $\times$ y
             ⇒       5 $\times$ LCM = 1600
             ⇒              ∴  LCM = $\frac{1600}{5}$ = 320
            

Answer:

(c) 128
Largest number that divides each one of 1152 and 1664 = HCF (1152, 1664)
We know, 
               1152 = $2^7 \times 3^2$
               1164 = $2^7 \times 13$
∴ HCF = $2^7$ = 128

Answer:

(a) 13

We know the required number divides 65 (70 − 5) and 117 (125 − 8).
∴ Required number = HCF (65, 117)
we know,
                65 = $13 \times 5$
              117 = $13 \times 3 \times 3$
∴ HCF = 13

Answer:

(b) 16

We know that the required number divides 240 (245 − 5) and 1024 (1029 − 5).
∴ Required number = HCF (240, 1024)
                   240 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5$
                 1024 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$
∴ HCF = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$ = 16

Answer:

(d) $\frac{15}{16}$

$\frac{1095}{1168} =\frac{1095 ÷73}{1168 ÷ 73} = \frac{15}{16}$

Hence, HCF of 1095 and 1168 is 73.

Answer:

(c) 0 ≤ r < b

where r​ must satisfy 0 ≤ r < b

Answer:

(d) 5

We know,
           Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder.
It is given that:
Divisor = 143
Remainder = 13
So, the given number is in the form of 143x + 31, where x is the quotient.
∴ 143x + 31 = 13 (11x) + (13 $\times 2$) + 5 = 13 (11x + 2) + 5
Thus, the remainder will be 5 when the same number is divided by 13.

Answer:

(c) $\frac{2027}{625}$

 $\frac{124}{165}=\frac{124}{5 \times 33}$; we know 5 and 33 are not the factors of 124. It is in its simplest form and it cannot be expressed as the product of ^{$(2^{m }\times 5^n)$} for some non-negative integers $m , n$.
       
     So, it cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal.


$\frac{131}{30}$ = $\frac{131}{5 \times 6}$; we know 5 and 6 are not the factors of 131. Its is in its simplest form and it cannot be expressed as the product of ( $2^{m }\times 5^n$) for some non-negative integers $m , n$.
  
   So, it cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal.

 $\frac{2027}{625} = \frac{2027 \times 2^4}{5^4 \times 2^4} = \frac{32432}{10000} = 3.2432$; as it is of the form $(2^{m }\times 5^n)$, where $m , n$ are non-negative integers.
  So, it is a terminating decimal.


 $\frac{1625}{462} = \frac{1625}{2 \times 7 \times 33}$; we know 2, 7 and 33 are not the factors of 1625. It is in its simplest form and cannot be expressed as the product of $(2^m \times 5^n)$ for some non-negative integers $m,n$.
So, it cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal.

Answer:

(b) two decimal places

$\frac{37}{2^2 \times 5} = \frac{37 \times 5}{2^2 \times 5^2} = \frac{185}{100} = 1.85$

So, the decimal expansion of the rational number will terminate after two decimal places.

Answer:

(d) four decimal places

$\frac{14753}{1250}= \frac{ 14753}{5^4 \times 2 } = \frac{14753 \times 2^3}{5^4 \times 2^4} = \frac{118024}{10000}$ = $11.8024$

So, the decimal expansion of the number will terminate after four decimal places.

Answer:

​Clearly, 1.732 is a terminating decimal.

Hence, a rational number.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Answer:

(a) 2

Since 5 + 3 = 8, the least prime factor of a + b has to be 2, unless a + b is a prime number greater than 2.
If a + b is a prime number greater than 2, then a + b must be an odd number. So, either a or b must be an even number. If a is even, then the least prime factor of a is 2, which is not 3 or 5. So, neither a nor b can be an even number. Hence, a + b cannot be a prime number greater than 2 if the least prime factor of a is 3 or 5.

Answer:

Let $\sqrt{2}$ is a rational number.

∴ $\sqrt{2}=\frac{p}{q}$,  where p and q are some integers and HCF(p, q) = 1    .... (1)
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \sqrt{2}q=p \\ \Rightarrow {\left(\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2=p^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2q^2=p^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ p² is divisible by 2
⇒ p is divisible by 2  .... (2)

Let p = 2m, where m is some integer.

∴ $\sqrt{2}q=p$
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \sqrt{2}q=2m \\ \Rightarrow {\left(\sqrt{2}q\right)}^2={\left(2m\right)}^2 \\ \Rightarrow 2q^2=4m^2 \\ \Rightarrow q^2=2m^2 \end{gathered}$$
⇒ q² is divisible by 2
⇒ q is divisible by 2  .... (3)

From (2) and (3), 2 is a common factor of both p and q, which contradicts (1).
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

Thus, $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Answer:

(c) an irrational number

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ is an irrational number.

Answer:

(c) an irrational number
