Question

Q2 Read the poem carefully and answer them. (5 Marks)

I heard a thousand blended notes

While in a group I sat reclined

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts

Bring sad thoughts to the mind

To her fair works did nature link

The humans soul’ that through me ran

And much it grieved my heart to think

What man has made of man?

1. What does the company of nature lead the poet to do?

3. What is the change in the mood of the poet?

4. Explain what man has made of man

5. Give a suitable title
(Plz give short answer)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.

Sp it t can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers and q≠0

⇒√5=p/q

On squaring both the sides we get,

⇒5=p²/q²

⇒5q²=p² —————–(i)

p²/5= q²

So 5 divides p

p is a multiple of 5

⇒p=5m

⇒p²=25m² ————-(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii), we get,

5q²=25m²

⇒q²=5m²

⇒q² is a multiple of 5

⇒q is a multiple of 5

Hence, p,q have a common factor 5. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number

√5 is an irrational number

Hence proved
