Exercise 1.1
1. Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of:
Answer
(i) 225 > 135 we always divide greater number with smaller one.
Divide 225 by 135 we get 1 quotient and 90 as remainder so that
225= 135 × 1 + 90
Divide 135 by 90 we get 1 quotient and 45 as remainder so that
135= 90 × 1 + 45
Divide 90 by 45 we get 2 quotient and no remainder so we can write it as
90 = 2 × 45+ 0
As there are no remainder so divisor 45 is our HCF.
(ii) 38220 > 196 we always divide greater number with smaller one.
38220 = 196 × 195 + 0As there is no remainder so divisor 196 is our HCF.(iii) 867 > 255 we always divide greater number with smaller one.Divide 867 by 255 then we get quotient 3 and remainder is 102 so we can write it as
867 = 255 × 3 + 102Divide 255 by 102 then we get quotient 2 and remainder is 51 so we can write it as
255 = 102 × 2 + 51Divide 102 by 51 we get quotient 2 and no remainder so we can write it as
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
As there is no remainder so divisor 51 is our HCF.
2. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.
Answer
Let take a as any positive integer and b = 6.
6 is divisible by 2 and 4 is also divisible by 2 it is a even number
3. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march?
Answer
HCF (616, 32) will give the maximum number of columns in which they can march.
We can use Euclid’s algorithm to find the HCF.
616 = 32 × 19 + 8
32 = 8 × 4 + 0
The HCF (616, 32) is 8.
Therefore, they can march in 8 columns each.
4. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the square of any positive integer is either of form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m.
[Hint: Let x be any positive integer then it is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2. Now square each of these and show that they can be rewritten in the form 3m or 3m + 1.]
Answer
Let a be any positive integer and b = 3.
Then a = 3q + r for some integer q ≥ 0
And r = 0, 1, 2 because 0 ≤ r < 3
Therefore, a = 3q or 3q + 1 or 3q + 2
Or,
a2 = (3q)2 or (3q + 1)2 or (3q + 2)2
a2 = (9q)2 or 9q2 + 6q + 1 or 9q2 + 12q + 4
= 3 × (3q2) or 3(3q2 + 2q) + 1 or 3(3q2 + 4q + 1) + 1
= 3k1 or 3k2 + 1 or 3k3 + 1
Where k1, k2, and k3 are some positive integers
Hence, it can be said that the square of any positive integer is either of the form 3m or 3m + 1.
5. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8.
Answer
Let a be any positive integer and b = 3
a = 3q + r, where q ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ r < 3
∴ a = 3q or 3q + 1 or 3q + 2
Therefore, every number can be represented as these three forms. There are three cases.
a3 = (3q)3 = 27q3 = 9(3q)3 = 9m,
Where m is an integer such that m = 3q3
Case 2: When a = 3q + 1,
a3 = (3q +1)3
a3= 27q3 + 27q2 + 9q + 1
a3 = 9(3q3 + 3q2 + q) + 1
a3 = 9m + 1
Where m is an integer such that m = (3q3 + 3q2 + q)
Case 3: When a = 3q + 2,
a3 = (3q +2)3
a3= 27q3 + 54q2 + 36q + 8
a3 = 9(3q3 + 6q2 + 4q) + 8
a3 = 9m + 8
Where m is an integer such that m = (3q3 + 6q2 + 4q)
or 9m + 8.Page No: 11Exercise 1.21. Express each number as product of its prime factors:

It is product of two numbers and both numbers are more than 1 so it is a composite number.
7. There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?
Answer
They will be meet again after LCM of both values at the starting point.
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 36
Therefore, they will meet together at the starting point after 36 minutes.

Exercise 1.3
1. Prove that √5 is irrational.
Answer
Let take √5 as rational number
If a and b are two co prime number and b is not equal to 0.
We can write √5 = a/b
Multiply by b both side we get
b√5 = a
To remove root, Squaring on both sides, we get
5b2 = a2 … (i)
That means 5 will divide a. So we can write
a = 5c
Putting value of a in equation (i) we get
5b2 = (5c)2
5b2 = 25c2
Divide by 25 we get
and we have already get that a is divide by 5
but a and b are co prime number. so it contradicts.
Hence √5 is not a rational number, it is irrational.2. Prove that 3 + 2√5 is irrational.
Answer
Let take that 3 + 2√5 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
3 + 2√5 = a/b
Here a and b are two co prime number and b is not equal to 0
Subtract 3 both sides we get
2√5 = a/b – 3
2√5 = (a-3b)/b
Now divide by 2, we get
√5 = (a-3b)/2b
Here a and b are integer so (a-3b)/2b is a rational number so √5 should be a rational number But √5 is a irrational number so it contradicts.
Hence, 3 + 2√5 is a irrational number.
3. Prove that the following are irrationals:
(i) 1/√2 (ii) 7√5 (iii) 6 + √2
Answer
(i) Let take that 1/√2 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
1/√2 = a/b
Here a and b are two co prime number and b is not equal to 0
Multiply by √2 both sides we get
1 = (a√2)/b
Now multiply by b
b = a√2
divide by a we get
b/a = √2
Here a and b are integer so b/a is a rational number so √2 should be a rational number But √2 is a irrational number so it contradicts.
Hence, 1/√2 is a irrational number
(ii) Let take that 7√5 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
7√5 = a/b
Here a and b are two co prime number and b is not equal to 0
Divide by 7 we get
√5 = a/(7b)
Here a and b are integer so a/7b is a rational number so √5 should be a rational number but √5 is a irrational number so it contradicts.
Hence, 7√5 is a irrational number.
(iii) Let take that 6 + √2 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
6 + √2 = a/b
Here a and b are two co prime number and b is not equal to 0
Subtract 6 both side we get
√2 = a/b – 6
√2 = (a-6b)/b
Here a and b are integer so (a-6b)/b is a rational number so √2 should be a rational number.
Hence, 6 + √2 is a irrational number.

Exercise 1.4
1. Without actually performing the long division, state whether the following rational numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal
expansion:
(i) 13/3125
(x) 77/210
Answer
(i) 13/3125
Factorize the denominator we get
3125 =5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 55
Factorize the denominator we get
8 =2 × 2 × 2 = 23
So denominator is in form of 2m so it is terminating .
Factorize the denominator we get
455 =5 × 7 × 13
There are 7 and 13 also in denominator so denominator is not in form of 2m × 5n . so it is not terminating.
Factorize the denominator we get
1600 =2 × 2 × 2 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 26 × 52
so denominator is in form of 2m × 5n
Hence it is terminating.
Factorize the denominator we get
343 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 73
There are 7 also in denominator so denominator is not in form of 2m × 5n
Hence it is non-terminating.
Denominator is in form of 2m × 5n
Hence it is terminating.
Denominator has 7 in denominator so denominator is not in form of 2m × 5n
Hence it is none terminating.
divide nominator and denominator both by 3 we get 2/5
Denominator is in form of 5m so it is terminating.(ix) 35/50 divide denominator and nominator both by 5 we get 7/10
Factorize the denominator we get
10=2 × 5
So denominator is in form of 2m × 5n so it is terminating.
simplify it by dividing nominator and denominator both by 7 we get 11/30
Factorize the denominator we get
30=2 × 3 × 5
Denominator has 3 also in denominator so denominator is not in form of 2m × 5n
Hence it is none terminating.
