Question 13 Marks
Rationalize the denominator : $\frac{12}{4 \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
Answer
$\frac{12}{4 \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\frac{12}{(4 \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})} \times \frac{(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}$
...[Multiplying the numerator and
denominator by $(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})]$
$= \frac{12(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{(4 \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}$
$= \frac{12(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{(4 \sqrt{3})^2-(\sqrt{2})^2}$
$\ldots\left[\because(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\right]$
$= \frac{12(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{(16 \times 3)-2}=\frac{12(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{48-2}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{12}{4 \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\left.\frac{6(4 \sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}{23}=\sqrt{2}\right)$

Question 113 Marks
Find the rationalizing factor of $\sqrt{27}$
Answer
$\sqrt{27}=\sqrt{9 \times 3}=3 \sqrt{3} \quad \therefore 3 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}=3 \times 3=9$ is a rational number.
$\therefore \sqrt{3}$ is the rationalizing factor of $\sqrt{27}$.
Note that, $\sqrt{27}=3 \sqrt{3}$ means $3 \sqrt{3} \times 3 \sqrt{3}=9 \times 3=27$.
Hence $3 \sqrt{3}$ is also a rationalizing factor of $\sqrt{27}$. In the same way $4 \sqrt{3}, 7 \sqrt{3}, \ldots$ are also the rationalizing factors of $\sqrt{27}$. Out of all these $\sqrt{3}$ is the simplest rationalizing factor.

Question 173 Marks
Write the following rational numbers in $\frac{p}{q}$ form. : $2 . \overline{514}$
Answer
$\text { Let } x =2 . \overline{514}$
$ x = 2.514514…$
Since, three numbers i.e. $5, 1$ and $4$ are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by $1000,$
$1000x = 2514.514514…$
$1000 x =2514 . \overline{514} \text {...(ii) }$
$\text { Subtracting (i) from (ii), }$
$1000 x - x =2514 . \overline{514}-2 . \overline{514}$
$\therefore 999 x =2512$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{2512}{999}$
$\therefore  2 . \overline{514}=\frac{2512}{999}$

Question 183 Marks
Write the following rational numbers in $\frac{p}{q}$ form. : $15 . \overline{89}$
Answer
Let $x=15 . \overline{89} \ldots \ldots (i)$
$\therefore x = 15.8989…$
Since, two numbers i.e. $8$ and $9$ are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by $100,$
$100x= 1589.8989…$
$\therefore 100 x =1589 . \overline{89} \ldots \text {.(ii) }$
$\text { Subtracting (i) from (ii), }$
$100 x - x =1589 . \overline{89}-15 . \overline{89}$
$\therefore 99 x =1574$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{1574}{99}$
$\therefore \quad 15 . \overline{89}=\frac{1574}{99}$

Question 193 Marks
Write the following rational numbers in $\frac{p}{q}$ form. : $\quad 3 . \overline{17}$
Answer
Letx $=3 . \overline{17}$...(i)
$\therefore x = 3.1717…$
Since, two numbers i.e. $1$ and $7$ are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by $100,$
$100x = 317.1717…$
$\therefore 100x= 317.17 …(ii)$
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
$100 x - x =317 . \overline{17}-3 . \overline{17}$
$\therefore 99 x =314$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{314}{99}$
$\therefore \quad 3 . \overline{17}=\frac{314}{99} $

Question 203 Marks
Write the following rational numbers in $\frac{p}{q}$ form. : $\quad 0 . \overline{37}$
Answer
Let $x=0 . \overline{37}$
$\therefore x = 0.3737…$
Since, two numbers i.e. $3$ and $7$ are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by $100,$
$100x = 37.3737……$
$\therefore 100 x =37 . \overline{37} \ldots \ldots \text {..(ii) }$
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
$100 x-x=37 . \overline{37}-0 . \overline{37}$
$\therefore 99x = 37$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{37}{99}$
$\therefore \quad 0 . \overline{37}=\frac{37}{99}$

Question 213 Marks
Write the following rational numbers in $\frac{p}{q}$ form. :$ 0 . \overline{6}$
Answer
Let $x=0.6$...(i)
$\therefore x = 0.666…$
Since, one number i.e. $6$ is repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by $10,$
$10x = 6.666…$
$\therefore 10 x 6.6 …(ii)$
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
$10x – x = 6.6 – 0.6$
$\therefore 9x = 6$
$ \therefore \quad x=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{3 \times 2}{3 \times 3}$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore \quad 0 . \dot{6}=\frac{2}{3} $
