Question 14 Marks

Visualise the representation of $5.3\bar{7}$ on the number line upto 5 decimal places, that is upto $5.37777.$

Answer

Once again we proceed by successive magnification, and successively decrease the lengths of the portions of the number line in which $5.3\bar{7}$ is located. First, we see that $5.3\bar{7}$ is located between $5$ and $6$. In the next step, we locate $5.3\bar{7}$ between $5.3$ and $5.4$. To get a more accurate visualization of the representation, we divide this portion of the number line into $10$ equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualize that $5.3\bar{7}$ lies between $5.37$ and $5.38$. To visualize $5.3\bar{7}$ more accurately, we again divide the portion between $5.37$ and $5.38$ into ten equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualize that $5.3\bar{7}$ lies between $5.377$ and $5.378$. Now to visualize $5.3\bar{7}$ still more accurately, we divide the portion between $5.377$ and $5.378$ into $10$ equal parts, and visualize the representation of $5.3\bar{7}$ as in fig.,(iv). Notice that $5.3\bar{7}$ is located closer to $5.3778$ than to $5.3777$ (iv).

Question 24 Marks

Represent $\sqrt{3.4},\sqrt{9.4},\sqrt{10.5}$ on the real number line.

Answer

In order to represent $\sqrt{ } 3.5$ on number line, we follow the following steps:
1. Draw a line and mark a point $A$ on it.
2. Mark a point $B$ on the line drawn in step $1$ such that $A B=3.5 cm$.
3. Mark a point c on AB produced such that $BC =1$ unit.
4. Find mid-point of $A C$. Let the mid-point be $O$.
5. Taking $O$ as the centre and $O C=O A$ as radius draw a semi-circle; also draw a line passing through $B$ perpendicular to $OB$. Suppose it cuts the semi-circle at $D$.
6. Taking $B$ as the centre and $B D$ as radius draw an arc cutting $O C$ produced at $E$. Point $E$ so obtained represent $\sqrt{3.5}$.
In order to represent $\sqrt{ 9 . 4 }$ on number line, we follow the following steps:
1. Mark a point $F$ on the line drawn such that $A F=9.4 cm$
2. Mark a point $G$ on $AF$ produced such that $FG =1$ unit.
3. Find mid-point of $AG$. Let the mid-point be $O _1$.
4. Taking $O _1$ as the centre and $O _1 A= O _1 G$ as radius draw a semi-circle. Also, draw a line passing through F perpendicular to $O _1 F$. Suppose it cuts the semi-circle at H
5. Taking F as the centre and FH as radius draw an arc cutting $O _1 G$ produced at I. Point I so obtained represents $\sqrt{9.4}$.
In order to represent $\sqrt{10.5}$ on number line, we follow the following steps:
1. Mark a point $J$ on the line such that $AJ =10.5 cm$.
2. Mark a point $K$ on $AJ$ produced such that $JK =1$ unit.
3. Find mid-point of $A K$. Let the mid-point be $O _2$.
4. Taking $O _2$ as the centre and $O _2 A= O _2 K$ as radius draw a semi-circle. Also, draw a line passing through $J$ perpendicular to $O _2 J$. Suppose it cuts the semi-circle at $L $.
5. Taking J as the centre and JL as radius draw an arc cutting $O _2 K$ produced at M . Point M so obtained represents

Question 34 Marks

Represent $\sqrt{6},\sqrt{7},\sqrt{8}$ on the number line.

Answer

Draw a number line and mark a point $O$, representing zero, on it.
Suppose point A represents $1$ as shown. Then, $O A=1$.
Draw a right triangle $O A B$ such that $A B=O A=1$.
By pythagoras theorem, we have
$(OB)^2 = (OA)^2 +(AB)^2$
$\Rightarrow OB^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 = OB2 = 1 +1 = 2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}=\sqrt{2}$
Now, draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $O B$. We find that the arcle cuts the number line at $A$.
Clearly, $A _1= OB =$ Radius of the cirde $=\sqrt{2}$
Thus, $A_1$ represents $\sqrt{2}$ on the number line.
Now, draw a right triangle $OBB _1$, such that $BB _1=2$.
Again by pythagoras theorem, we have,
$\text{OB}^2_1=\text{OB}^2+\text{BB}^2_1$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_1=\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2+(2)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_1=6$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}_1=\sqrt{6}$
Now, draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $OB _1$. We find that the circle cuts the number line at $A _2$.
Clearly, $OA _2= OB _2=$ Radius of circle $=\sqrt{6}$
Thus, $A_2$ represents $\sqrt{6}$ on the number line.
Now, draw a right angle triangle $OB _1 B_2$ such that $B _1 B_2=1$.
By pythagoras theorem, we have,
$\text{OB}^2_2=\text{OB}^2_1+\text{B}_1\text{B}^2_2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_2=\big(\sqrt{6}\big)^2+(1)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_2=6+1=7$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}_2=\sqrt{7}$
Now, draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $OB _2$. We find that the circle cuts the number line at $A _3$.
Clearly, $OA _3= OB _2=$ Radius of circle $=\sqrt{7}$
Thus, $A_3$ represents $\sqrt{7}$ on the number line.
Now, again draw a right triangle $OB _2 B_3$ such that $B _2 B_3=1$.
By pythagoras theorem, we have,
$\text{OB}^2_3=\text{OB}^2_2+\text{B}_2\text{B}^2_3$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_3=\big(\sqrt{7}\big)^2+(1)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2_3=7+1=8$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}_3=\sqrt{8}$
Now, draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $OB _3$. We find that the circle cuts the number line at $A _4$.
Clearly, $OA _4= OB _3=$ Radius of circle $=\sqrt{8}$
Thus, $A_4$ represents $\sqrt{8}$ on the number line.

Question 44 Marks

Find a rational number and also an irrational number lying between the numbers $0.3030030003...$ and $0.3010010001...$

Answer

Let, $a = 0.3010010001$ and, $b = 0.3030030003...$
We observe that in the third decimal place a has digit $1$ and $b$ has digit $3,$
therefore $a < b$ in the third decimal place a has digit $1.$
So, if we consider rational and irrational numbers.
$x = 0.302 y = 0.302002000200002.....$
We find that $a < x < b$ and, $a < y < b.$
Hence, $x$ and $y$ are required rational and irrational numbers respectively.

Question 54 Marks

Visualise $2.665$ on the number line, using successive magnification.

Answer

The following steps for successive magnification to visualise $2.665$ are:
$1.$ We observe that $2.665$ is located somewhere between $2$ and $3$ on the number line.
So, let us look at the portion of the number line between $2$ and $3$.

$2.$ We divide this portion onto $10$ equal parts and mark each point of division.
The first mark to the right of $2$ will represent $2.1$, the next $2.2$ and soon.
Again we observe that $2.665$ lies between $2.6$ and $2.7.$

$3.$ We mark these points $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively.
The first mark on the right side of $A,$ will represent $2.61$, the number $2.62$, and soon.
We observe $2.665$ lies between $2.66 $and $2.67.$

$4.$ Let us mark $2.66$ as $B _1$ and $2.67$ as $B _2$. Again divide the $B _1 B_2$ into ten equal parts. The first mark on the right side of $B_1$ will represent $2.661$ , then next $2.662$ , and so on.

Clearly, fifth point will represent $2.665.$

Question 64 Marks

Find six rational numbers between $3$ and $4.$

Answer

Given that to find out six rational numbers between $3$ and $4$
We have, $3\times\frac{7}{7}=\frac{21}{7}$ and $4\times\frac{6}{6}=\frac{28}{7}$
We know $21 < 22 < 23 < 24 < 25 < 26 < 27 < 28 $
$\frac{21}{7}<\frac{22}{7}<\frac{23}{7}<\frac{24}{7}<\frac{25}{7}<\frac{26}{7}<\frac{27}{7}<\frac{28}{7}$
$3<\frac{22}{7}<\frac{23}{7}<\frac{24}{7}<\frac{25}{7}<\frac{26}{7}<\frac{27}{7}<4$
Therefore, $6$ rational numbers between $3$ and $4$ are $\frac{22}{7},\frac{23}{7},\frac{24}{7},\frac{25}{7},\frac{26}{7},\frac{27}{7}$ Similarly to find $5$ rational numbers between $3$ and $4$, multiply $3$ and $4$ respectively
with $\frac{6}{6}$ and in order to find $8$ rational numbers between $3$ and $4$ multiply $3$ and $4$ respectively
with $\frac{8}{8}$ and so on.

Question 74 Marks

Find five rational numbers between $1$ and $2.$

Answer

As we have to find $5$ rational numbers, we multiply the numbers by $\frac{6}{6}$ $1=1\times\frac{6}{6}=\frac{6}{6}$ and $2=2\times\frac{6}{6}=\frac{12}{6}$ Thus, $5$ Rational numbers between $1 \& 2$ $\Big(\text{i.e}\ \frac{6}{6}\ \&\ \frac{12}{6}\Big)$ are $\frac{7}{6},\frac{8}{6},\frac{9}{6},\frac{10}{6},\frac{11}{6}$

Question 94 Marks

Prove that $\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational number.

Answer

If possible, let $\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}$ be a rational number equal to $x.$
Then,
$\text{x}=\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}$
$\text{x}^2=\Big(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}\Big)^2$
$\text{x}^2=8+2\sqrt{15}$
$\frac{\text{x}^2-8}{2}=\sqrt{15}$
Now, $\sqrt{\frac{\text{x}^2-8}{2}}$ is rational
$\sqrt{15}$ is rational
Thus, we arrive at a contradiction.
Hence, $\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational number.
