Chapter – 1

Exercise 1.1

1. Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of: 

(i) 135 and 225 

Ans: Since 225 > 135, we apply the division lemma to 225 and 135,

We have 225 = 135 x 1 + 90

Since the remainder 90 ≠ 0, so we apply division lemma to 135 and 90,

We have 135 = 90 x 1 + 45 Again remainder 45 ≠ 0, so we again apply division lemma to 90 and 45,

We have 90 = 45 x 2 + 0

The remainder has now become zero. 

So our procedure stops Since the divisor at this stage is 45, 

Hence HCF of 225 and 135 is 45. i.e. HCF (225.135) = 45.

(ii) 196 and 38220 

Ans: By Euclid division lemma to196 and 38220 

we have 38220 = 196 x 195 +0 

The remainder has now zero.  

Hence HCF of 196 and 38220 is 195

(iii) 867 and 225

Ans: By Euclid Division Algorithm, we have 867 = 255 x 3 + 102

We apply the Euclid Division Algorithm on the division 255 and the remainder 102. 

225 = 102 x 2 + 51 on the division 102

Again we apply Euclid’s Division Algorithm remainder 51, 102 = 51 x 2 + 0

(iv) 272 and 1032

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm 1032 = 272 x 3 + 216

1032 = 272 x 3 + 216

272 = 216 x 1 + 56

216 = 56 x 3 + 48

56 = 8 x 6 + 0

The remainder has now become zero, So, our procedure stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 8.

∴ HCF of 272 and 1032 is 8

(v) 405 and 2520

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm

2520 = 405 x 6 + 80

405 =  90 x 5 + 45

90 = 45 x 2 + 0 

The remainder has now become zero, So, our procedure stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 45

∴ The HCF of 405  and 2520 is 45.

(vi) 155 and1385

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm

1385 = 155 x 8 + 145

155 = 145 x 1+ 10

145 = 10 x 14 + 5

10 = 5 x 2 + 0 

The remainder has now become zero, So, our procedure stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 5.

∴ The HCF of 155 and 1385 is 5.

(vii) 384 and 1296

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm

1296 = 384 x 3 + 144

384 = 144 x 2 + 96

144 = 96 x 1 + 48

96 = 48 x 2 + 0

The remainder has now become zero, So, our procedure stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 48.

∴ HCF of 384 and 1296 is 48

(viii) 1848 and 3058

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm

1458 = 1848 x 2 + 362

1848 = 362 x 5 + 38

362 = 38 x 9 + 20

38 = 20 x 18 x 1 + 2

18 = 2 x 9 + 0

The remainder has now become zero,

So,our procedure stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 2.

∴ HCF of 1848 and 4058 is 2

2. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 3 or 6q + 5 where q is some integers.

3. An army contingent of members march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which it can march?

Ans: The maximum number of columns is the HCF of 616 and 32.

In order to find the HCF of 616 and 32, let us apply Euclid’s division lemma to 616 and 32 to get 616 = 32 x 19 + 8

Let us take the divisor 32 as dividend and remainder 8 as divisor and apply Euclid’s division lemma to get 32 = 8 x 4

Since the remainder at this stage is 0. Therefore the last division i.e. 8 is the HCF of 616 and 32.

Hence, the maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8.

4. Use Eucild’s division lemma to show that the square of any positive integer is either of the form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m.

5. Use uclid’s division lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8

6. Himadri has a collection of 625 Indian postal stumps and 325 International postal stumps. She wants to display them in identical groups of Indian and International stumps with no stumps left out. What is the greatest number of groups Himadri can display the stumps?

Ans: Using Euclid Division Algorithm 625 = 325 x 1 + 300 325 = 300  x 1 + 25 The remainder has now become zero, So,our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 25. HCF of 325 and 625 is 25 Greatest number of groups of postal stumps is 25.

7. Two ropes are of length 64cm and 80cm. Both are to be cut into pieces of equal length. What should be the maximum length of the pieces?

Ans: HCF of 64 and 80 will be the maximum length of the pieces. Now, we are to required HCF of 64 and 80

Using Euclid Division Algorithm 

80 = 64 x 1 + 16

64 = 16  x 4 + 0

The remainder has now become zero, So,our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 16

∴ HCF of 64 and 80 is 16

∴ Minimum length of pieces = 16cm.

Exercise 1.2

1. Express each number as a product of its prime factors:

(i) 140

Ans: 

∴ 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 22  x 5 x 7

2. Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM × HCF = product of the two numbers.

(i) 26 and 91

Ans: we have 26 and 91 

Thus LCM (26, 96) = 2 X 7 X 13 = 182 

HCF (26,91) = 13 

Now LCM (26,91) X HCF (26,91 ) = 182 X 13 = 2366

And product of the numbers = 26 x 91 = 2366.

Hence the LCM X HCF = product of two numbers.

(ii) 510 and 92

Ans: we have  510 and 92

510 = 2 X 35

92 = 22 X 23 

∴ LCM (510, 92 ) = 22 X 35 X 23 = 23460

HCH (510, 92) = 2 

Now LCM (510, 92) x HCF (510, 92) = 23460 x 2 = 46920

Product of two numbers = 510 x 92 = 46920 

Hence LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers. 

 (iii) 336 and 54

Ans: we have 336 = 2⁴ x 3 × 7    54  = 2× 3³  

HCF (336,92) = 2 × 3 = 6

Now LCM (336,54) HCF (336,54) 3024 × 6 = 18,144 and product of two numbers = 336 × 54 

= 18,144.

Hence LCM × HCF = product of two numbers.

3. Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method.

(i) 12, 15 and 21

Ans: (i) 12 = 22 x 3      15 = 3 x 5 and 21 = 3 x 7

∴ The HCF of these integers is 3

22, 31, 51 and 71 are the greatest powers involved in the prime factors of 12, 15 and 21.

So LCM (12, 15, 21) = 22 x 31 x 51 x 71 = 420

(ii) 17, 23 and 28 

Ans: 17, 23 and 29

There is no common factor as 17,23,29 they are primes. Hence HCF is 1.

LCM is the product of all prime factors 17, 23, 29 = 17 x 23 x 29 = 11339

 HCF (17, 23, 29) = 1.

(iii) 8, 9 and 25

Ans: 8, 9 and 25

8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 2¹

HCF (8,9,25)=1  [∵ There is no common factor of 8,9,25]

LCM = 23 x 32 x 52 = 1800

4. Given that HCF (306, 657) = 9, find LCM(306, 657)

Ans: We have

HCF (306, 657) = 9

We know that, LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers.

306 × 657

LCM × 9 = 306 × 657 = LCM = 22338

5. Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for many natural numbers n.

Ans: If the number 6n ends with the digit zero, then it must have 5 as a factor.

But, we know that the only prime factors of 6n are 2 and 3.

Also, we know from the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, that the prime factorisation of each number is unique.

So, there is no value of n natural numbers for which 6n ends with the digit zero.

6. Explain why 7 x 11 x 13 +13 and 7 x 6 x 5 composite numbers.

Ans: We have 7 x 1 x 13+13-1001 + 13 = 1014

1014 2 x 3 x 13 x 13

So, it is the product of prime factors, 2 x 3 x 13 x 13

Hence, it is a composite number.

7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1+5=5 x 17x 6 x 4 × 3 × 2 × 1+1)

– 5 x 1009.

5× 1009.

= 5045 Thus 5045 can be expressed as products of primes.

It is the of prime factor 5 × 5 101

Hence it is a composite number.

7. There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose the point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?

Ans: Required number of minutes is the LCM of 18 and 12

We have, 18 = 12 × 2×3²

LCM of 18 and 12 is 2 x 3 = 36

Hence, Ravish and Sonia will meet again at the starting point after 36 Minutes.

8. The soldiers in the regiment can stand in some rows consisting of 15,20,25 numbers of soldiers . find the least number soldiers in the regiment.

Ans: Least numbers of soldiers in the regiment = LCM (15,20,25)

Now, 15 = 3 x 5

20 = 22 x 5

25 = 52

∴  LCM (15,20,25) = 3 X 22 X 52

= 3 X 4 X 25  

= 300

∴ 300 Soldier in the regiment.

(ii) A bell rings at every 18 seconds, another bell rings at every 60 seconds. If these two bells ring simultaneously at an instant, then find after how many seconds will the bells ring simultaneously again.

Ans: Required second = LCM (18, 60)

Now,

18 = 2×32

60 x 22 3 x 5

(iii) A radio station plays ‘Assam Sangeet’ once every two days. Another radio station plays the same song once every three days. How many times in 30 days will both the radio station play the same song on the same day.

Ans: One radio’s station plays ‘Assam Sangeet’ once every 2 days and another radio station plays the same songs one every 3 days. In 30 days both the radio stations play the same song on the same day = 30/60 = times.

Exercise 1.3

1. Prove that √3 is an irrational number.

Ans: Let √5 represents a rational number.

Then √5 can be expressed have no common factor, q ≠ 0. in the form, where p,q are integers and have no common factor q 

2. Prove that 3+2√5 is irrational:

Ans: Let us assume on the contrary that 3 + 2 sqrt(5) is rational. Then there exist co-prime 

positive integers a and b ( b ≠ 0) such that

3 + 2 √5 = a/b ⇒ 2 √5 = a/b -3 ⇒√ 5 = a – 3b/2b

⇒√ 5 is rational { ∴ a,b are integers ∵ a – 3b /2b is rational}

This contradicts the fact that √ 5 is irrational. So our supposition is incorrect.

Hence 3 + 2 √ 5 is an irrational number.

3. Prove that the following irrationals.

(i) 1/ √2 (ii) 7/ √5 (iii) 6 / √2

 (ii) 7/ √5
