Real Number

Chapter – 1

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 

(ii) 156 

Ans:  

∴ 156 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13

(iii) 3825 

Ans: 

∴ 3825 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 17

(iv) 5005 

Ans:  

∴ 5005 = 5 x 7 x 11 x 13

(v) 7429

Ans:  

∴ 7429 = 17 x 19 x 23 

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 × 7 × 13 = 182 

HCF (26,91) = 13 

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

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

Hence the LCM X HCF = product of two numbers.

(ii) 510 and 92

Ans: We have  510 and 92

92 = 22 X 23 

LCM (510, 92 ) = 22 X 33 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  3¹⁵ = 3 x  5 and 21 = 3 x 7

The HCF of these integers is 3 2, 3, 5 and are the greatest powers involved in the prime factors of 12, 15 and 21.

(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 6″ can end with the digit 0 for many natural numbers.

Ans: If the number 6″ ends with the digit zero, then it must have 5

as a factor.

But, we know that the only prime factors of 6″ 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 6″ ends with the digit zero.

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

Ans: We have 7 x 1×13+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 17 x 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 they both start 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 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. 

1. Prove that √5 is rational 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

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 coprime 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

(iii) 6 / √2

Ans: Let 6 + √2 be a rational number equal to a/b

where a, b are positive co-primes. Then,

This is a contradiction. 

Hence, 6 + √2 is irrational.
