Objective Type Questions
Page-2.26Question 1:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
If a fraction ab is a lowest terms, then HCF of a and b is
(a) a (b) b (c) 1 (d) ab
Answer 1:
We know that a fraction is in its lowest terms if its numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.
Thus, if the fraction ab is in its lowest terms, then the HCF of a and b is 1.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
Question 2:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The fraction 8498 in its lowest terms is
(a) 4249 (b) 1214 (c) 67 (d) 37
Answer 2:
Factors of 84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
Factors of 98: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98
Common factors of 84 and 98: 1, 2, 14
∴ HCF of 84 and 98 = 14
Now,
8498=84÷1498÷14=67 (Dividing numerator and denominator by the HCF of 84 and 98 i.e. 14)
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
Question 3:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

(a) 710 (b) 131000 (c) 2910 (d) 79
Answer 3:
The fractions with denominator not equal to 10, 100, 1000 etc are called vulgar fractions.
Thus, the fraction 79 is a vulgar fraction.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
Question 4:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Which of the following fraction is an irreducible (or in its lowest terms)?
(a) 91104 (b) 105112 (c) 5185 (d) 4383
Answer 4:
We know that a fraction is irreducible (or is in its lowest terms) if the HCF of its numerator and denominator is 1.
Consider the fraction 91104.
HCF of 91 and 104 = 13 ≠ 1
So, the fraction 91104 is reducible.
Consider the fraction 105112.
HCF of 105 and 112 = 7 ≠ 1
So, the fraction 105112 is reducible.
Consider the fraction 5185.
HCF of 51 and 85 = 17 ≠ 1
So, the fraction 5185 is reducible.
Now,
Consider the fraction 4383.
HCF of 43 and 83 = 1
So, the fraction 4383 is irreducible (or is in its lowest terms).
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
Question 5:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Which of the following is a proper fraction?
(a) 1317 (b) 1713 (c) 125 (d) 134
Answer 5:
A fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called a proper fraction.
The numerator in each of the fractions 1713, 125, 134=74 is more than the denominator, so these fractions are improper fractions.
The numerator of the fraction 1317 is less than the denominator, so this fraction is a proper fraction.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
Question 6:
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The reciprocal of the fraction 235 is
