Question 1:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
1. Which one of the following is a correct statement?
(a) Decimal expansion of a rational number is terminating
(b) Decimal expansion of a rational number is non-terminating
(c) Decimal expansion of an irrational number is terminating
(d) Decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non-repeating
Answer 1:
The decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non- repeating. Thus, we can say that a number, whose decimal expansion is non-terminating and non- repeating, called irrational number. And the decimal expansion of rational number is either terminating or repeating. Thus, we can say that a number, whose decimal expansion is either terminating or repeating, is called a rational number.
Hence the correct option is 
.
Question 2:
Which one of the following statements is true?
(a) The sum of two irrational numbers is always an irrational number
(b) The sum of two irrational numbers is always a rational number
(c) The sum of two irrational numbers may be a rational number or an irrational number
(d) The sum of two irrational numbers is always an integer
Question 3:
Which of the following is a correct statement?
(a) Sum of two irrational numbers is always irrational
(b) Sum of a rational and irrational number is always an irrational number
(c) Square of an irrational number is always a rational number
(d) Sum of two rational numbers can never be an integer
Question 4:
Which of the following statements is true?
(a) Product of two irrational numbers is always irrational
(b) Product of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational
(c) Sum of two irrational numbers can never be irrational
(d) Sum of an integer and a rational number can never be an integer
Answer 4:
Since we know that the product of rational and irrational number is always an irrational. For example: Let
are rational and irrational numbers respectively and their product is
Hence the correct option is
.
Question 5:
Which of the following is irrational?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer 5:
Given that
And 7 is not a perfect square.
Hence the correct option is
.
Question 6:
Which of the following is irrational?
(i) 0.14
(ii)
(iii)
(iv) 0.1014001400014...
Answer 6:
Given that
Here
is non-terminating or non-repeating. So it is an irrational number.
Hence the correct option is
.
Question 7:
Which of the following is rational?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Question 8:
The number 0.318564318564318564 ........ is:
(a) a natural number
(b) an integer
(c) a rational number
(d) an irrational number
Answer 8:
Since the given number
is repeating, so it is rational number because rational number is always either terminating or repeating
Hence the correct option is
.
Question 9:
If n is a natural number, then is
(a) always a natural number
(b) always an irrational number
(c) always an irrational number
(d) sometimes a natural number and sometimes an irrational number
Answer 9:
The term “natural number” refers either to a member of the set of positive integer
.
And natural number starts from one of counting digit .Thus, if n is a natural number then sometimes n is a perfect square and sometimes it is not.
Therefore, sometimes
is a natural number and sometimes it is an irrational number
Hence the correct option is
.
