Question 11 Mark
The product of two irrational numbers is an irrational number (True/ False).
Answer
False.Reason:
As it is not always possible that the product of two irrational number be also an irrational number, it may be a rational number.
for example,
$\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}=3,\sqrt{7}\times\sqrt{7}=7$

Question 21 Mark
Two numbers have 12 as their HCF and 350 as their LCM (True/ False).
Answer
False.Solution:
HCF of two numbers = 12
LCM of two numbers = 350
$\frac{\text{LCM}}{\text{HCF}}=\frac{350}{12}=\frac{175}{6}$
The result of $\frac{\text{LCM}}{\text{HCF}}$ is not a natural number so we can say that two number have not 12 as their HCF and 350 as their LCM.
Thus, the given statement is false.

Question 31 Mark
Every even integer is of the form 2m, where m is an integer (True/ False).
Answer
True.
Reason:
Let the various values of m as -1, 0 and 9.
Thus, the values for 2m become -2, 0 and 18 respectively.

Question 41 Mark
Every odd integer is of the form 2m - 1, where m is an integer (True/ False).
Answer
True.
Reason:
Let the various values of m as -1, 0 and 9.
Thus, the values for 2m - 1 become -3, -1 and 17 respectively.
These are odd integers.

Question 51 Mark
The product of any three consecutive natural number is divisible by 6 (True/ False).
Answer
True.Reason:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be 1,2 and 3.
Their product is 6, which is divisible by 6.
Let the other set of three consecutive natural numbers be 3, 4 and 5.
Their product is 60, which is divisible by 6.

Question 61 Mark
HCF of two numbers is always a factor of their LCM (True/ False).
Answer
True.Reason:
The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM.
Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.

Question 71 Mark
The sum of two prime number is always a prime number (True/ False).
Answer
False.Reason:
Sum of two prime numbers can be a composite number.
e.g. 3 and 5 are prime numbers but their sum 3 + 5 = 8 is a composite number.

Question 81 Mark
$\pi$ is an irrational number (True/ False).
Answer
True.Reason:
Rational number is one that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers.
Rational numbers converted into decimal notation always repeat themselves somewhere in their digits.
For example, 3 is a rational number as it can be written as $\frac{3}{1}$ and in decimal notation it is expressed with an infinite amount of zeros to the right of the decimal point. $\frac{1}{7}$ is also a rational number.
Its decimal notation is 0.142857142857…, a repetition of six digits.
However $\sqrt{2}$ cannot be written as the fraction of two integers and is therefore irrational.
Now,
$\pi=3.1415926.....$
Thus, it is irrational.

Question 91 Mark
The sum of two irrational number is an irrational number (True/ False).
Answer
False.
Reason:
As it is not always possible that the sum of two irrational is also an irrational number, it may be rational number also.
For example,
$\big(2+\sqrt{3}\big)+\big(2-\sqrt{3}\big)=2+\sqrt{3}+2-\sqrt{3}=4.$
