Which of the following is rational?
  • A
    $\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $\pi$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{0}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{0}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{0}{4}$
$\sqrt{3}=1.732 \ ...=$ Non $-$ terminating and non $-$ repeating number, hence irrational
$\pi=3.14 \ ...$ also can not be terminated to $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}$ form, and is non $-$ terminating and non $-$ repeating in nature.
Hence, irrational.
$\frac{4}{0}$ is not a rational number because this is in the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers but $q = 0$
$\frac{0}{4}$ follows the defination of rational number.
Hence, correct option is $(d).$

MCQ 41 Mark
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.
  • ✓
    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.
Answer
Correct option: C.
The sum of two irrational numbers may be a rational number or an irrational number.
If two irrational numbers i.e. $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},2+\sqrt{3},2-\sqrt{3}$ etc. are added it is not necessary that sum comes out to be an irrational number always, or a rational nnumber always, or a rational number always $......$
Since $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{5}=$ an irrational number
$2+\sqrt{\not\text{3}}+2-\sqrt{\not\text{3}}=4=$ a rational number
So we see that $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{5}$ are irrational numbers, and their sum is also irrational.
But $2+\sqrt{3}$ and $2-\sqrt{3}$ are also irrational numbers, and their sum is rational number $'4'$.
So sum of two irrational numbers can be either an irrational number or a rational number depending which numbers are being added.
So options $(a)$ and $(b)$ are totally wrong, because they are not 'always' true.
Option $(c)$ is correcrt because sum can be either irrational or rational and option $(c)$ is verifying this statement.
Option $(d) -$ again it is not always true, if we add two irrational numbers like $2+\sqrt{3}$ and $2-\sqrt{3}.$
Sum is an integer $= 4,$ but if we add $\sqrt{3}$ and $\sqrt{3},$ sum is $2\sqrt{3}$ which is not an integer but again an irrational number.
So option $(d)$ is also incorrect.
Hence, correct option is $(c)$.

  • ✓
    $\frac{14}{11}$
  • C
    $\frac{14}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{14}{15}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{14}{11}$
Let $\text{x}=1.\overline{27}=1.272727...(1)$
Now, $100\text{x}=127.272727=127.\overline{27}...(2)$
Subtracting equation $(1)$ from $(2),$ we get
$99\text{x}=126$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{126}{99}=\frac{14}{11}$
Hence, option $(b)$ is correct.

Which of the following statements is true?
  • A
    Product of two irrational numbers is always irrational.
  • ✓
    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
Correct option: B.
Product of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational.
Is incorrect, Product of two irrational numbers is not always irrational, it can be also rational sometimes.
when an irrational number is multiplied to itself, or multiplied by another irrational, that product becomes a perfect square.
Example:
$\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}=2\ ($Rational$)$
$\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{16}=\pm4 \ ($Rational$)$
Is correct, because when a rational number is multiplied to an irrational number, it can not make an irrational number terminating or Non $-$ terminating Repeating.
Product again becomes a Non $-$ terminating Non $-$ Repeating number.
as: $2\times\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}$
$\frac{2}{3}\times\sqrt{3}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
So, product of a rational number and an irrational number is always an irrational, because irrational number is just changed in magnitude not in properties.
Is incorrect, Sum of two irrational numbers can be an irrational number.
i.e. if we add $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{3},$ we will get $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ which is also an irrational.
Is incorrect, Sum of an integer and a rational number can be a integer.
Because all integers are rational numbers and also we can say some rational numbers are integers.
So their sum with integer would be a integer i.e. $2 + 3 = 5$
Hence, correct option is $(b)$.

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.
  • ✓
    Decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non $-$ repeating.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non $-$ repeating.
Decimal Expansion of a Rational number is not only terminating,
It can be either terminating like $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ or non $-$ terminating Repeating like $\frac{1}{3}=0.3333333 ...... $ So option $(a)$ is not true alone.
Now we know that Non $-$Terminating numbers are of two types:
One is Non $-$ Terminating Repeating and other is Non $-$Terminating Non $-$ Repeating.
The Decimal expansion of a Rational number matches one of it's kind
i.e Non $-$Terminating Repeating of Non $-$Terminating numbers.
So Rational number does not consist both the kinds of Non $-$ Terminating numbers.
Hence, they are not Non $-$ Terminating numbers.
An irrational number is always Non $-$Terminating in nature, but again not of both of it's kinds.
The decimal Expansion of an irrational number is Non $-$ Terminating Non $-$ Repeating in Nature.
So from all above points and theory we can conclude an Irrational number is Non $-$Terminating but Non $-$ Repeating in nature
i.e. $\sqrt{2}=1.4142135623730 ... $
So, option $(d)$ is correct.

Which of the following is a correct statement?
  • A
    Sum of two irrational numbers is always irrational.
  • ✓
    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.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Sum of a rational and irrational number is always an irrational number.
Is incorrect, because sum of two irrational numbers is not an irrational number always. It can also be a rational numberi.e. if we add $2+\sqrt{3}$ and $2-\sqrt{3},$ sum comes out to be $2+\sqrt{\not\text{3}}+2-\sqrt{\not\text{3}}=4,$ which is a rational number.
Is correct, if a rational number is added to an irrational number means to a Non $-$ terminating $-$ repeating number, the sum will also be non $-$ terminating and Non $-$ repeating number, i.e an irrational number.
Example:
a rational number $'2\ ' $ and an irrational no $'\sqrt{3}'$ is added, sum $=2+\sqrt{3}$ which is again a non-terminating and non $-$ repeating number, hence an irrational number always.
Is incorrect, Square of an irrational number is not necessarily a rational number.
Again it can be either a rational or irrational. i.e $(\sqrt{2})^2=2 \ ($Rational$)$
$(2+\sqrt{3})^2=4+3+2\times2\sqrt{3}=7+4\sqrt{3}\ ($irrational$)$
Is incorrect, Sum of two rational numbers can be an integer and a rational number both.
i.e $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4} \ ($Rational number$)$
Hence, correct option is $(b)$.

    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • ✓
    $\sqrt{7}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{81}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\sqrt{7}$
Is incorrect, because $\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}=\pm\frac{2}{3}\ ($Rational$)$
Is also incorrect, as $\frac{4}{5}$ is in the form of $\frac{\text{P}}{\text{Q}}(\text{Q}\neq0), ($Rational$)$
Is incorrect, because $\sqrt{7}$ is a non $-$ terminating and Non $-$ Repeating number.
Is incorrect, because $\sqrt{81}=\pm9 \ ($Rational$)$
Hence, correct option is $(c)$.

The smallest rational number by which $\frac{1}{3}$ should be multiplied so that its decimal expansion terminates after one place of decimal, is:
  • A
    $\frac{1}{10}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{3}{10}$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $30$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{3}{10}$
$\frac{1}{3}=0.33333... ($a Non $-$ termnating number$)$
Now, if we remove $3$ from denominator it will terminate.
So, if we multiply by $\frac{3}{10}$
i.e. $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1\ ($ terminates after one place of decimal$)$
By multiplying by $\frac{1}{10}, 3$ does not replaces.
By multiplying by $3,$ we get $1,$ which is not terminating after one place of decimal and, by multiplying by $30,$ we get $10,$ again not terminating after one palce of decimal.
Hence, option $(b)$ is correct.

If $n$ is a natural number, then $\sqrt{\text{n}}$ is:
  • A
    always a natural number.
  • B
    always an irrational number.
  • C
    always an irrational number.
  • ✓
    sometimes a natural number and sometimes an irrational number.
Answer
Correct option: D.
sometimes a natural number and sometimes an irrational number.
Is incorrect, because $\sqrt{\text{n}}$ can not be always a natural number
i.e. if $\text{n}=2, \ \sqrt{\text{n}}=\sqrt{2} \ ($not a natural no.$)$
Is incorrect, similiarly, if $n = 2, 5, ….$ Or any odd no. or not perfect square, $\sqrt{\text{n}}=\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{7}$ are Non $-$ terminating and non $-$ repeating, So irrational in nature,
So, not always a rational number.
Is also incorrect, $\sqrt{\text{n}}$ can aslo be rational or say a natural number.
If $n = 4, 9, 16...$ or any perfect square number then $\sqrt{\text{n}}=2,3,4...$ natural numbers.
Is fully correct because if $n$ is any odd number or non $-$ perfect square number then $\sqrt{\text{n}}$ would be irrational, but if $n$ is a perfect square number $\sqrt{\text{n}}$ then will be a natural number.
If $n = 2, 3, 5, 8 ... \sqrt{\text{n}}=\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{8}... ($irrational$)$
If $n = 4, 9, 16 ... = 2, 3, 4 ... ($Natural number$)$
So, correct option is $(d)$
