Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
Which is smaller out of $\frac{5}{-6}$ and $\frac{-7}{12}?$
  • $\frac{5}{-6}$
  • B
    $\frac{-7}{12}$
  • C
    Cannot be compared.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{5}{-6}$

The correct option is $(a).$
$\frac{5\times-1}{-6\times-1}=\frac{-5}{6}$
$LCM$ of $6$ and $12$ is $12$
$\therefore\frac{-5\times2}{6\times2}=\frac{-10}{12}$ and $\frac{-7\times1}{12\times1}=\frac{-7}{12}$
Hence, $\frac{5}{-6}$ is smaller than $\frac{-7}{12}$

If $\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=1,$ then $x = ?$
  • A
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • $\frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $-\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{-4}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{4}{3}$

$​​\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{2}=1-\frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\frac{3\times1-1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\frac{3-1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}}{2}=\frac{2\times2}{3}$ (Multiplying both sides by $2)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{4}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

MCQ 571 Mark
Which of the following pairs of rational numbers are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line?
  • A
    $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$
  • B
    $-\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$
  • $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$

The rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are positive rational numbers. We know that every positive rational number is greater than $0$, so both the rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are represented by points on the right of the zero on the number line.
The rational numbers $-\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$ are negative rational numbers. We know that every negative rational number is less than $0$, so both the rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are represented by points on the left of the zero on the number line.
The rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}$ is a positive rational number whereas the rational number $\frac{-5}{12}$ is a negative rational numbers. We know that every negative rational number is less than $0$ and every positive rational number is greater than $0$, so the rational number $\frac{3}{7}$ is represented by point on the right of the zero and $\frac{-5}{12}$ is represented by point on the left of the zero on the number line.
Thus, the rational numbers $-\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$ are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c).$

If the product of two non-zero rational numbers is $1,$
Then they are:
  • A
    Additve inverse of each other.
  • B
    Multiplicative inverse of each other.
  • C
    Reciprocal of each other.
  • Both $(b)$ and $(c)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

For every non-zero rational number $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$ there exists a rational number $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ such that:
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\times\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}=1$
Here, the rational number $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ is called the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$
Thus, if the product of two non-zero rational numbers is $1$, then they are multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of each other.

The rational number equal to $\frac{2}{-3}$ is:
  • A
    $\frac{14}{-18}$
  • $\frac{-6}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{-8}{-12}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{-2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{-6}{9}$

We know that two rational numbers are equal if they have the same standard form.
$\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2\times(-1)}{-3\times(-1)}=\frac{-2}{3}$
The standard form of $\frac{2}{-3}\text{ is }\frac{-2}{3}$
Consider the rational number $\frac{-6}{9}$
$HCF$ of $6$ and $9 = 3$
Dividing the numerator and denominator of $\frac{-6}{9}$ by $3,$
We have:
$\frac{-6}{9}=\frac{-6\div3}{9\div3}=\frac{-2}{3}$
So, the rational number $\frac{-6}{9}$ is equal to $\frac{2}{-3}$
It can be checked that:
Standard form of $\frac{14}{-18}=\frac{-7}{9}$
Standard form of $\frac{3}{-2}=\frac{-3}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

Which of the following is correct?
  • $\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{9}<\frac{-3}{-8}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{-3}<\frac{-8}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{-3}>\frac{-8}{7}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{8}$

Consider the rational numbers $\frac{5}{9}\text{ and } \frac{-3}{-8}$
We write the rational number $\frac{-3}{-8}$ with positive denominator.
$\frac{-3}{-8}=\frac{-3\times(-1)}{-8\times(-1)}=\frac{3}{8}$
Now, we write the rational numbers so that they have a common denominator.
$LCM$ of $8$ and $9 = 72$
So, $\frac{5}{9}=\frac{5\times8}{9\times8}=\frac{40}{72}$ and $\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times9}{8\times9}=\frac{27}{72}$
Now,
$40>27$
$\Rightarrow\frac{40}{72}>\frac{27}{72}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{9}>\frac{3}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{-8}$
Hence the correct option is $(a).$

The whole number nearest to $457$ and divisible by $11$ is:
  • A
    $450$
  • B
    $451$
  • C
    $460$
  • $462$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$462$
The numbers $450$ and $460$ are not divisible by $11.$
Now, both the numbers $451$ and $462$ are divisible by $11.$
Distance between $457$ and $451$ on the number line $= 457 - 451 = 6$
Distance between $457$ and $462$ on the number line $= 462 - 457 = 5$
Thus, the whole number nearest to $457$ and divisible by $11$ is $462.$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(d).$

If $-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{\text{x}},$ then $x =$
  • $-8$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $-4$
  • D
    $8$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$-8$

$-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow-3\times\text{x}=6\times4$
$\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}\Rightarrow\text{ad}=\text{bc}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow-3\text{x}=24$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{x}}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}$ (Dividing both sides by $-3)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-8$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(a).$

Find the unknown value $x: \frac{5}{13} +\text{ x} = \frac{5}{13}$
  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $ \frac{5}{13}$
  • D
    $ \frac{2}{13}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$

Given, $\frac {5}{13}+ \text{x}= \frac {5}{13}$
$\therefore \text{x}= \frac{5}{13}-\frac{5}{13}$
$\therefore \text{x}= 0$
