2. How many irrational numbers exist between two rational numbers?
3. The number √ 5
2 Is it rational or irrational?

4. The number ( 1+ √❑ ) Is it rational or irrational?
5. If 2a=3b=6 c , then express c in terms of a and b.

Section - C
1. Recall, Π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its
c
diameter (say d).That is, Π= This seems to contradict the fact that Π is
d
irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?
2. If a=xy ❑ p−1 , b=xy ❑q−1 , c=xy ❑r −1 ,prove that a q−r br − p c p−q =1

and √ ❑cm.
5. Prove that √ ❑is an irrational number.

Solutions:
Section - A
1. 0.23232323 ......
+0.2222222 .....
0.45454545 .......
0.23+0.22=0.45
We can note here the sum of two irrational numbers is irrational except in cases
when the two irrational numbers are negative of each other.
2. There are an infinite number of irrational numbers between any two rational
numbers.
3. ( √5 2 ) =√❑
1
So, 2a=k ⇒ k a =2
1 1
Similarly k b =3and k c =6
Section-B
Thus, to rationalise 3−7 √ ❑we multiply it with 3+7 √ ❑The expression that is
multiplied with an irrational expression to obtain a rational number is called the
"rationalising factor".
2. x¿ √❑
2 2
So, x (x−10) =¿ ¿
¿ ¿¿(49)2−¿ ¿
3. Let x¿ 0.34
So, 100 x=34. 34(equation 1)
And 10 x=3. 434 (equation 2)
So, 90 x=31(On subtracting equation 2¿equation1)
31
⇒ x=
90
4. 4 ×5=20 isn't a square.
Hence 1 number is √ ❑
Similarly 8 √ ❑isn't a square
So, √ ❑is the second number.
2 2
4 =16∧5 =25
Hence √ ❑is the third.
Any method can be used,use your calculator to verify.
5. Given, x=2+ √ ❑

On solving for + = + = + =
2−x 2− y 2−x 2 x−xy 2−x 2 x−1 ❑

Section - C
1. There is no contradiction. When we measure a value with scale, we only obtain
an approximate value. We never obtain an exact value.
Therefore, we may not realize that either circumference or diameter is irrational.
22
The value of Π is almost equal to ∨3.142857...

2. a=xy ❑ p−1 , b=xy ❑q−1 , c=xy ❑r −1
We have to prove a q−r br − p c p−q =1
LHS= a q−r br − p c p−q =¿ ¿
¿ xy 0=1=RHS(Proved)

3. Let a x =b y =c z=k ,then a=k x , b=k y , c=k z
1 1 1 2 1 1
2 y 2 x z y x 2 1 1 2 z+ x
z 2 xz
Now, b =ac ⇒(k ) =k × k ⇒k =k × k ⇒ = + ⇒ = ⇒ y=
y x z y xz x+ z
4. Given: perpendicular sides of a right angled triangle are √ ❑and √ ❑cm
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse = √ ❑
5. Let √ ❑be a rational number.
and Let x = √ ❑
Squaring both sides,
2
x =¿ ¿
2
⇒ x −8=2 √❑is rational.
So, √ ❑is rational but √ ❑can’t be rational.
So, Our supposition is wrong.
So, √ ❑is an irrational number.
Section - D
1. ¿
So, it is irrational.
2. ¿ ¿
⇒ 3+7 +2× √ ❑
So, it is an irrational number.
3. ¿So, it’s a rational number.

4. Sixth root of 8 means, 8 6 which is equal to (23 ) 6 which is 2 6 =2 2 . Hence, Sixth root
1
of 8 is 2 2 , i.e. 1.4142.... (non-terminating and non-recurring)
5. We know that when (a< b<c ), then a 2< b2 <c 2 .Thus, the converse must be true.
i.e., when a 2< b2 <c 2, then a< b<c . Now, we know that (1<2< 4)so , √ ❑(When we
consider the positive values of square roots).Thus, 1< √❑. Hence,√ ❑lies
between1 and 2.
We have also seen that √ ❑lies between1 and 2 by Pythagoras theorem.
When we take the line OA=1unit ,where O represents the point 0, and draw a
perpendicular to OA at 1, and call it AB, such that AB=1 unit , then OB=√ ❑.If
we draw an arc with centre O and radius OB, the point at which the arc cuts the
number line will represent the value √ ❑.
