⇒
⇒
⇒
∴
Option (b)
2. What should be subtracted from -5/4 to get -1?
⇒ Let's take the unknown number as
⇒
⇒

⇒
∴
Option (a)
3. Which of the following is the reciprocal of the reciprocal of a rational number?
Option (a)
4. If a = 1/2, b = 3/4, verify the following
(i) a × b = b × a
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence verified
(ii) a + b = b + a
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence Verified
5. Add
(i) 3/7 and -9/7
⇒
⇒
(ii) 5/9 and 7/-9
⇒
⇒
(iii) 2/5, 5/-9 and -6/15
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
6. Subtract
(i) (-3/4) from (1/2)
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
(ii) (5/8) from (-3/14)
⇒
⇒
⇒
7. Verify the property a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c by taking
(i) a = (7/5), b = (-9/4), c = (1/2)
⇒
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence verified
(ii) a = 1, b = (-13/5), c = (3/5)
⇒
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence Verified
8. Verify the property a × (b + c) = (a × b) +(a × c) by taking
(i) a = (1/3), b = 0, c = (-7/6)
⇒
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence Verified
(ii) a = -2, b = (9/5), c = (-2/15)
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence Verified
9. Find the rational numbers between
(i) 3 and 4
3 = 12/4 and 4 = 16/4
So, the rational numbers between 3 and 4 are 13/4, 14/4, 15/4.
(ii) -7 and -6
⇒ -7 = -28/4 and -6 = -24/4
So, the rational numbers between -7 and -6 are -27/4, -26/4, -25/4.
10. Find three rational numbers between
(i) -5 and 8
Any three rational number between -5 and 8 are 1, 2, 3.
(ii) (-1/3) and (1/2)
-1/3 = -2/6 and 1/2 = 3/6
So, any three rational numbers between -1/3 and 1/2 are -1/6, 1/6, 2/6.
