Question 512 Marks
Write down the decimal expansions of the following rational numbers by writing their denominators in the form $2^m× 5^n$, where, m, n are non-negative integers.
$\frac{13}{125}$
Answer
The given number is $\frac{13}{125}.$
$\frac{13}{125} = \frac{13}{5^{3}} = \frac{13}{5^{3} \times 2^0}$
$= \frac{13\times 2^{3}}{5^{3}\times 2^{3}} = \frac{13\times 8}{(10)^3} = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104$
Thus, the decimal expansion of $\frac{13}{125}$ is 0.014.

Question 522 Marks
Without actually performing the long division, state whether state whether the following rational numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non terminating repeating decimal expansion.
$\frac{129}{2^2\times5^7\times7^{17}}$
Answer
Since the denominator is not of the form $2^m,5^n$, and it also has $7$ as its factor, the decimal expansion of $\frac{129}{2^2\times5^77^{17}}$ is non-terminating repeating.

Question 542 Marks
Define $HCF$ of two positive integers and find the $HCF$ of the following pairs of numbers:
$240$ and $6552$
Answer
By applying Euclid’s division lemma
$6552 = 240 \times 27 + 72$
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor of $240$ and remainder $72.$
$240 = 72 \times 3 + 24$
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor of $72$ and remainder $24.$
$72 = 24 \times 3 + 0$
$\therefore$ $H.C.F$ of $6552$ and $240$ is $= 24.$

Question 552 Marks
Find the $HCF$ of the following pairs of integers and express it as a linear combination of them.
$1288$ and $575$
Answer
By applying Euclid’s division lemma
$1288 = 575 × 2 + 138 …..(i)$
Since remainder $≠ 0,$ apply division lemma on division $575$ and remainder $138.$
$575 = 138 × 4 + 23 …..(ii)$
Since remainder $≠ 0,$ apply division lemma on division $138$ and remainder $23 …..(iii)$
$HCF = 23$
Now, $23 = 575 - 138 × 4 [$from $(ii)]$
$= 575 - [1288 - 575 × 2] × 4 [$from $(i)]$
$= 575 - 1288 × 4 + 575 × 8$
$= 575 × 9 - 1288 × 4$

Question 562 Marks
Use Euclid's division algorithm to find the $HCF$ of:
$136, 170$ and $255$
Answer
Given integers are $136, 170$ and $255.$
Let us first find the $HCF$ of $136, 170$ by Euclid lemma.
Clearly, $170 > 136.$ So, we will apply Euclid’s division lemma to $136$ and $170.$
$170 = 136 × 1 + 34$
Remainder is $34$ which is a non-zero number.
Now, apply Euclid’s division lemma to $136$ and $34.$
$136 = 34 × 4 + 0$
The remainder at this stage is zero.
Therefore, $34$ is the $HCF$ of $136$ and $170.$
Now, again use Euclid’s division lemma to find the $HCF$ of $34$ and $255.$
$255 = 34 × 7 + 17$
Remainder is $17$ which is a non-zero number.
Now, apply Euclid’s division lemma to $34$ and $17.$
$34 = 17 × 2 + 0$
The remainder at this stage is zero.
Therefore, $17$ is the $HCF$ of $136, 170$ and $255.$

Question 572 Marks
What can you say about the prime factorisations of the $43$ of the following rationals:
$0.120120012000120000...$
Answer
We have,
$0.120120012000120000...$
We can see that it is a non-terminating repeating decimal expersion.
So, its denominator has factors others them $2$ or $5$.

Question 582 Marks
Define $HCF$ of two positive integers and find the $HCF$ of the following pairs of numbers:
$75$ and $243$
Answer
Prime factors of $75$ and $243$ are
$75 = 3 × 5 × 5 = 3 × 5^2$
$243 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3^5$
$HCF (75, 243) =$ Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the number
$= 3$

Question 612 Marks
Write the median class for the following frequency distribution:
Class-interval 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80
Frequency 5 8 7 12 28 20 10 10
Answer
We are given the following table.
Class interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency
0-10 5 5
10-20 8 13
20-30 7 20
30-40 12 32
40-50 28 60
50-60 20 80
60-70 10 90
70-80 10 100
  N = 100
Here, N = 100 $\therefore\frac{\text{N}}{2}=50$ The cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 60.

So, the median class is 40−50.
