Question 1.
Find the HCF of 1260 and 7344 using Euclid’s algorithm.
Or
Show that every positive odd integer is of the form (4q + 1) or (4q + 3), where q is some integer. [CBSE 2019]
Answer:
Taking a = 7344 and b = 12260
Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm

HCF of 1260 and 7344 is 36.
Or
Apply Euclid’s Division Lemma to a and b = 4.
a = 4q + r, 0 ≤ r < 4 ⇒ a = 4q, a = 4q + 1, a = 4q + 2 and a = 4q + 3. Now, a = 4q and a = 4q + 2 are even numbers as both are divisible by 2. But, 4q + 1 and 4q + 3 are not divisible by 2. Therefore, when a is odd, it is of the form a = 4q + 1 or a = 4q + 3 for some integer q. Question 2. Show that 3+7√5 that √7 is irrational.
Or
Prove that n² + n is divisible by 2 for any positive integer n. [CBSE 2019 (C)]
Answer:

Since, difference of integers is also an integer.
∴ 5p – 3q is an integer.
⇒ 5p−3qq is rational number.
But LHS is √7, which is irrational.
Thus, irrational number = Rational number which is a contradiction.
Thus, our supposition is wrong.
Hence, 3+7√5 is an irrational number.
Or
n² + n = n(n + 1)
There arise two cases.
Case I: When n is even.
Then (n +1) is odd.
Since, even × odd = even.
∴ Product n(n + 1) is even i.e. divisible by 2.

Case II: When n is odd.
Then (n + 1) is even.
Since, odd × even = even.
∴ n(n + 1) is even i.e. divisible by 2.
So, for any positive integer, (n² + n) is always divisible by 2.

Question 3.
A positive integer n when divided by 9, gives 7 as remainder. Find the remainder when (3n – 1) is divided by 9.
Answer:
Here n can be written as 9k + 7, where k ∈ N
Now 3n – 1 = 3(9k + 7) – 1 = 27k + 20
Applying Euclid’s division lemma on (27k + 20) and 9, we have
27k + 20 = 9 × (3k + 2) + 2;
where k ∈ N
Thus, 2 is the remainder.

Question 4.
Show that any positive even integer can be written in the form 6q, 6q + 2 or 6q + 4, where q is an integer? [CBSE Delhi 2016]
Answer:
Let take a¹ as any positive even integer and
b = 6
Then using Euclid algorithm we get
a = 6q + r
Here r is remainder and value of q is more than or equal to 0 and r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 because 0 < r < b and the value of b is 6. So total possible forms will be 6q + 0, 6q + 2, 6q + 4. 6q + 0 6 is divisible by 2 so, it is an even number. 6q + 2 6 is divisible by 2 and 4 is also divisible by 2. So, it is an even number. Hence, any positive even integer can be written in the form 6q, 6q + 2 or 6q + 4 and so on. Question 5. In a school, the duration of a period in junior section is 40 minutes and in senior section is 1 hour: If the first bell for each section ring at 9:00 a.m., when will the two bells ring together again? [CBSE 2012 (Sept.)] Answer: 1 hour = 60 minutes 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 2³ × 5
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 2² × 3 × 5
∴ LCM (40, 60) = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 120
120 minutes = 2 hours
Hence, the two bells will ring together again at 9:00 + 2:00 = 11:00 a.m.

Question 6.
Explain why (17 × 11 × 2 + 17 × 11 × 5) is a composite number? [CBSE 2012 (Sept.)]
Answer:
17 × 11 × 2 + 17 × 11 × 5
= 17 × 11 × (2 + 5)
= 17 × 11 × 7
Since, 17 × 11 × 2 + 17 × 11 × 5 can be expressed as a product of primes, therefore, it is a composite number.

Question 11.
Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find HCF of 4052 and 12576. [CBSE 2019 (C)]
Answer:
∵ 12576 > 4052, apply the Euclid’s division lemma to 12576 and 4052, to get
12576 = 4052 × 3 + 420
Since 420 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 4052 and 420 to get
4052 = 420 × 9 + 272
Since, 272 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 420 and 272
420 = 272 × 1 + 148
Since, 148 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 272 and 148 to get
272 = 148 × 1 + 124
Since, 124 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 148 and 124
148 = 124 × 1 + 24
Since, 24 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 124 and 24
124 = 24 × 5 + 4
Since, 4 ≠ 0, so apply E.D.L. to 24 and 4
24 = 4 × 6 + 0 ← Stop!
Since, remainder has become zero.
∴ HCF (12576, 4052) = 4.

Question 2.
The LCM of two numbers is 14 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 600. If one number is 280, then find the other number.
[C.B.S.E Sept 2012]
Answer:
According to the statement of the question, we have:
LCM of two numbers = 14 × HCF of two numbers
Also, LCM + HCF = 600
⇒ 14 × HCF + HCF = 600
⇒ 15 HCF = 600
⇒ HCF = 40
∴ LCM = 14 × 40 = 560
Now, one number is 280
∴ 280 × Other number = 40 × 560
⇒ Other number = 40×560280 = 80

Question 3.
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, 6q + 3 or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.
Answer:
Apply Euclid’s Division lemma to a and 6, we have
a = 6q + r, where 0 ≤ r ≤ 6
Thus, r can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Consider the equation, a = 3q + r
Case 1: When r = 0
Thus, a = 6q
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2(3q)
Which is an even number.

Case 2: When r = 1
Thus, a = 6q + 1
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2 × 3q + 1 – 2m + 1, where m = 3q
Which is an odd number.

Case 3: When r = 2
Thus, a = 6q + 2
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2 × (3q + 1)
= 2m, where m = 3q + 1
Which is an even number.

Case 4: When r = 3
Thus, a = 6q + 3
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2 × (3q + 1) + 1
= 2m + 1, where m = 3q + 1
Which is an odd number.

Case 5: When r = 4
Thus, a = 6q + 4
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2 × (3q + 2)
= 2m + 1, where m = 3q + 2
Which is an even number.

Case 6: When r = 5
Thus, a = 6q + 5
Rewriting the above equation, we have
a = 2 × (3q + 2) + 1
= 2m + 1, where m = 3q + 2
Which is an odd number.
Therefore, any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, 6q + 3 or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.

Question 4.
Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find HCF of 56, 96 and 404.
Answer:
Applying Euclid’s division algorithm to 56 and 96
96 = 56 × 1 + 40
56 = 40 × 1 + 16
40 = 16 × 2 + 8
16 = 8 × 2 + 0
∴ HCF (56, 96) = 8
Next, apply Euclid’s division algorithm to 8 and 404
404 = 8 × 50 + 4
8 = 4 × 2 + 0
Thus, HCF (56, 96, 404) = 4

Question 5.
Find HCF and LCM of 404 and 96 and verify that HCF × LCM = Product of the two given numbers. [CBSE 2018]
Answer:
404 = 2 × 2 × 101 = 2² × 101
96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 25 × 3
∴ HCF of 404 and 96 = 2² = 4
[Product of smallest power of each common factor]
LCM of 404 and 96 = 101 × 2⁵ × 3 = 9696
[Product of greatest power of each prime factor]
HCF × LCM = 4 × 9696 = 38784
Also 404 × 96 = 38784
Hence HCF × LCM = Product of 404 and 96.

Question 6.
Express 5.4178¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in the pq for,.
Answer:
Let x = 5.4178¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
or x = 5.4178178178 ………
∴ 10x = 54.178178178 ………. (1)
Also 1000 (10x) = 54178.178178178 …….
⇒ 10000x = 54178.178178178 ……………. (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we have:
10000x – 10x = [54178.178178178…] – [54.178178…]
⇒ 9990x = 54124

Question 7.
Find the LCM and HCF of 1296 and 5040 by prime factorisation method:
Answer:

∴ 5040 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7
= 2⁴ × 3² × 5 × 7
1296 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
= 2⁴ × 3⁴
∴ LCM = Product of each prime factor with highest powers
= 2⁴ × 3⁴ × 5 × 7
= 16 × 81 × 5 × 7 = 45360
HCF = Product of common prime factors with lowest powers
= 2⁴ × 3²
= 16 × 9 = 144

Question 8.
The decimal expansion of the rational number 4324×53, will terminate after how many places of decimal?
Answer:

Question 9.
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3 where q is a positive integer.
Answer:
Let a be any positive integer and b = 4. Applying Euclid’s division lemma there exist integers q and r such that
a = 4q + r,
where 0 ≤ r < 4 ⇒ a – 4q or 4q + 1 or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3 However since ‘a’ is odd we reject the case 4q and 4q + 2 as they both are divisible by 2. Therefore, any positive odd integer is of the form 4q +1 or 4q + 3. Question 10. Check whether 14ⁿ can end with the digit zero for any natural number n ? [CBSE Delhi 2016]
Answer:
Let, us suppose that 14ⁿ ends with the digit 0 for some n ∈ N
∴ 14ⁿ is divisible by 5
But, prime factors of 14 are 2 and 7.
∴ Prime factor of (14)ⁿ are (2 × 7)ⁿ
⇒ It is clear that in prime factorisation of 14″ there is no place for 5.
∴ By Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic
Every composite no. can be expressed as a product of primes and this factorisation is unique, a part from the order in which the prime factor occur.
∴ Our Supposition is wrong.
Hence, there exists no natural number n for which 14ⁿ ends with the digit zero.

Question 11.
Prove that √2 is an irrational number. [CBSE 2019]
Answer:
Let, if possible to the contrary that √2 is not irrational number i.e., √2. is a rational number.
That mean √2 can be expressed in pq form where
p and q are coprime positive integers and q ≠ 0.
So, √2 = pq
⇒ p² = 2q²
Thus, p² is a multiple of 2
⇒ p is a multiple of 2.
Let p = 2m for some integer m.
⇒ q² = 2m².
Thus, q² is a multiple of 2.
⇒ q is a multiple of 2.
Hence, 2 is a common factor of p and q.
This contradicts the fact that p and q are coprimes.
∴ Our supposition is wrong.
Hence, √2 is an irrational number.

Question 1.
A, B and C starts cycling around a circular path in the same direction at the same time. Circumference of the path is 1980 m. If speed of A is 330 m/min, speed of B is 198 n0nin and that of C is 220 n^min and they start from the same point, then after what time will they be together at the starting point?
Answer:
As =  Distance  Speed 
Time taken by A to complete one round
= 1980330 = 6 min
Time taken by B to complete one round
= 1980198 = 10 min
Time taken by C to complete one round
= 1980220 = 9 min
The three cyclists will be together after LCM (6, 10, 9)
6 = 2 × 3
10 = 2 × 5
9 = 3²
LCM (6, 10, 9) = 2¹ × 3² × 5 = 90 min.

Question 2.
The HCF of 408 and 1032 is expressible in the form 1032 m – 2040. Find the value of m. Also, find the LCM of 408 and 1032.
Answer:
Let us find HCF of 408 and 1032.
Here, 1032 > 408
∴ 1032 = 2 × 408 + 216
408 = 1 × 216 + 192
216 = 1 × 192 + 24
192 = 8 × 24 + 0
Thus, HCF of 408 and 1032 is 24.
Now, HCF (408, 1032)
i.e., 24 = 1032 × m – 2040
⇒ 1032 × m = 24 + 2040
⇒ 1032 × m = 2064
⇒ m = 20641032 = 2
408 = 2³ × 3 × 17
1032 = 2³ × 3 × 43 ,
∴ LCM of 408 and 1032 = 2³ × 3 × 17 × 43 = 17544.

Question 3.
Obtain the HCF of420 and 272 by using Euclid’s division algorithm and verify the same by using Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic. ‘
Answer:
Case I: Using Euclid’s division algorithm
420 = 272 × 1 + 148
272 = 148 × 1 + 124,
148 = 124 × 1 + 24
124 = 24 × 5 + 4 24 = 4×6 + 0
∴ HCF (420,272) = 4

Case II: Using Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic.

∴ HCF (420, 272) = 2² = 4
rom I and II the result obtained is verified.

Question 4.
If ‘h’ is HCF of 609 and 957. Find x and y satisfying h = 609x + 957y. Also show that x and y are not unique.
Answer:
Here 957 > 609
So, starting with
a = 957 and b = 609 and applying Euclid’s division algorithm,
we get
957 = 6 × 1 + 348 …………… (i)
609 = 348 × 1 + 261 …………… (ii)
348 = 261 × 1 + 87 …………… (iii)
261 = 87 × 3 + 0 ← remainder (r) …………… (iv)
⇒ HCF (609, 957) = 87
Alternatively,

From (iii)
⇒ 87 = 348 – 261 × 1,
= 348 – (609 – 348 × 1) × 1
[∵ From (ii) 261 = 609 – 348 × 1]
= 348 – 609 × 1 + 348 × 1
= 348 × 2 – 609 × 1
= (957 – 609 × 1) × 2 – 609 × 1
= 957 × 2 – 609 × 2 – 609 × 1
= 957 × (2) + 609 (- 2 -1)
= 957 × (2) + 609 × (-3) …….. (iv)
Thus, 87 = 957y + 609x where y = 2 and x = – 3
Adding and subtracting 957 × 609 in (iv),
we get
87 = 957 × 2 + 609 × (- 3) + 957 × 609 – 957 × 609
= 957 × 2 + 957 × 609 + 609 × (-3) + 609 × (-957)
= 957 × (2 + 609) + 609 × (- 3 – 957)
⇒ 87 = 957 × (611) + 609 × (- 960) ………….. (v)
= 957x + 609y
Where x = 611, y = – 960
(v) represents another linear combination and hence x and y are not unique.

Question 1.
Find the greatest number that will divide 43,91 and 183 so as to leave the same remainder in each case.
Answer:
Here we look at the difference between the given numbers. Let the remainder in each case be x. then, 43 – x, 91 – x and 183 – x are divisible by the required number.
⇒ (91 – x) – (43 – x), (183 – x) – (91 – x) and (183 – x) – (43 – x) are divisible by the required number.
i.e., (91 – 43), (183 – 91) and (183 – 43) are divisible by the required number.
Required number
= HCF of (91 – 43), (183 – 91) and (183 – 43)
= HCF (48, 92,140)
As 48 = 2⁴ × 3,92 = 23 × 2²,
140 = 2² × 5 × 7
∴ HCF = 2² = 4
Thus, 4 is the greatest number that divides 43,91 and 183 leaving same remainder.

Question 2.

Answer:
LCM (12,32) = 96
∴ No. of packets of coloured pencils
=  LCM  Qty. in one packed  = 9612 = 8
No. of packets of crayon = 9632 = 3.

Question 3.
The set of Mathematics, Physics and Physical Education books have to be stacked in such a way that all the books are stored topic wise. The number of Mathematics, Physics and Physical Education books are 14, 18 and 22. Determine the number of stacks of each books provided books are of the same thickness.
Answer:
Firstly, to arrange the books as according to condition, find HCF of 14, 18 and 22.

HCF (14, 18, 22) = 2
⇒ There are only 2 books in each stack.
Now, number of stacks of Mathematics books = 142 = 7
Number of stacks of Physics books = 182 = 9.
Number of stacks of Physical Education books = 222 = 11

Question 4.
Prove that there is no rational number whose square is 6.
Answer:
Let ab be a rational number whose square is 6.
Then 6 = (ab)2, where a and b are prime to each other and b > 0.
⇒ 6b² = a²
⇒ 3(2b²) = a²
Thus, a² is divisible by 3, and so a is divisible by 3.
Let a = 3p, where p is some integer.
Then, a² = 6b² gives
(3p)² = 6b²
⇒ 9 p² = 6b²
⇒ 3 p² = 2b²
This shows that 2 b² is divisible by 3, so b² is divisible by 3, and thus b is divisible by 3. Thus, both a and b are divisible by 3 which is a contradiction.
Hence, there is no rational number whose square is 6.

Question 5.
If p and q are two odd prime numbers, show that p2 – g2 is composite.
Answer:
Let p = 2m + 1, q = 2n + 1, where m and n are natural numbers.
Now, (p² – q²) = (p – q)(p + q) ,
But, p- q = (2m + 1) – (2n + 1) = 2(m – n)
p + q = (2m + 1) + (2n + 1) = 2 (m + n + 1)
Clearly both factors of (p² – q²) are even i.e., none of the divisors (p – q) and (p + q) is equal to 1.
⇒ (p² – q²) is a composite number.
