MCQ 1561 Mark
$4\frac{1}{2}$ metres long rope is cut into $9$ equal pieces. What is the length of each piece$?$
  • A
    $\frac{2}{5}\text{m}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}\text{m}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}\text{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}\text{m}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}\text{m}$

Total length of the rope $=4\frac{1}{4}\text{m}=\frac{9}{2}\text{m}$
Number of total pieces $= 9$
Let the length of each piece be $y\ m.$
As per the question,
$\text{9y}=\frac{9}{2}$
$\text{y}=\frac{9}{2\times9}$
$\text{y}=\frac{1}{2}\text{m}$
Therefore, the length of each piece is $\frac{1}{2}\text{m}.$

  • B
    $\frac{1}{12}$
  • C
    $-\frac{16}{63}$

$-\frac{1}{6}$
Simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately:
$= \frac{7}{8} \times -\frac{4}{21}$
$= -\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}$
$= -\frac{1}{2} \times 3$
$=-\frac{1}{6}$

The additive inverse of $\frac{-7}{19}$ is:
  • A
    $\frac{-7}{19}$
  • $\frac{7}{19}$
  • C
    $\frac{19}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{-19}{7}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{7}{19}$

We know that, if a and b are the additive inverse of each other,
Then $a + b = 0$
Suppose, $x$ is the additive inverse of $\frac{-7}{19}$
Then, $\text{x}-\frac{7}{19}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{7}{19}$
Hence, additive inverse of $\frac{-7}{19}$ is $\frac{7}{19}.$

Which of the following statements is always true$?$
  • A
    $\frac{\text{x}-\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number between $x$ and $y.$
  • $\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number between $x$ and $y.$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{x}\times\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number between $x$ and $y.$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{x}\div\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number between $x$ and $y.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number between $x$ and $y.$

 Here, $\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{2}$ is a rational number.
Then, it always lies in between $x$ and $y$ either $x < y$ or $y < x.$

If $y$ be the reciprocal of rational number $x,$ then the reciprocal of $y$ will be:
  • $\text{x}$
  • B
    $\text{y}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{x}$
If $y$ be the reciprocal of rational number $x,$ i.e. $\text{y}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ or $\text{x}=\frac{1}{\text{y}}.$
Hence, the reciprocal of $y$ will be $x.$

MCQ 1671 Mark
Which of the following expressions shows that rational numbers are associative under multiplication:
  • $\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-6}{7}\Big)\times\frac{3}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{-6}{7}\Big)$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\Big(\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{3}\Big)\times\frac{-6}{7}$
  • D
    $\Big(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-6}{7}\Big)\times\frac{3}{5}=\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{2}{3}\Big)\times\frac{3}{5}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-6}{7}\Big)\times\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{2}{3}\times\Big(\frac{-6}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-6}{7}\Big)\times\frac{3}{5}$
$[$by associative property under multiplication, $a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-18}{35}=\frac{-12}{21}\times\frac{3}{5}$
So, $a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c$
Hence, the given expression shows that rational numbers are associative under multiplication.

What is the product of $\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$?
  • A
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{1}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{6}$
The product of $\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2}{9}\times\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\times3}{9\times4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\times3}{3\times3 \times2 \times2}$
By cancelling the common terms from numerator and denominator, we get:
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3\times3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{6}$
