which of the following is set of number is not rational number ? a.natural b. whole c.real d.integer
Answers
Answer- The above question is from the chapter 'Sets'.
Sets: Collection of well-defined objects is called a set.
Natural numbers: Counting numbers i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are called natural numbers.
Set of natural numbers is denoted by N.
Whole numbers: 0 and all natural numbers are called whole numbers.
Set of whole numbers is denoted by W.
Integers: Negatives of natural numbers, 0 and all positive natural numbers are called integers.
Set of integers is denoted by Z.
Rational numbers: Numbers which can be written in the form of p/q where p, q are integers and q ≠ 0 are called rational numbers.
Set of rational numbers is denoted by Q.
Real Numbers: Collection of rational and irrational numbers is called real numbers.
Set of real numbers is denoted by R.
Now, the order can be written like this:
Real numbers > Rational Numbers > Integers > Whole Numbers > Natural Numbers
Question: Which of the following is set of numbers is not rational numbers?
a. Natural
b. Whole
c. Real
d. Integer
Solution: c. Real
ANSWER
option (c) real numbers
is your answer
EXPLANATION
ratinal numbers :-
- these are the numbers which can be written in the form of p/q form where p and q are integers and q not equal to 0
- note that 0/0 and any number/0 are not ratinal
- set of ratinal numbers is finite
- see chart
real numbers :-
- the set of real number contain ratinal and irrational numbers
- irrational number ( ex 2.22222 up to infinite ) can not be written in the form of p/q
CHART OF NUMBERS
there are two type of number
real number and non real number
- ratinal and irrational are subset of real numbers
- integers are subset of ratinal numbers
- whole numbers are subset of integers
- natural numbers are subset of natural numbers
- natural numbers start from 1 but whole numbers start from 0
SOME EXAMPLES
- Real = 2,3√5,√2
- irratinal = √5
- ratinal = 2/3
- Note :- since √2 is real but not ratinal
- whole num :- 0,1,2.....
- natural num :- 1,2,.....
