ix. Which one is the conjugate pair of 2√5 + √3 ?
(A) -2√5 + √3
(B) -2√5 – √3
(C) 2√3 – √5
(D) √3 + 2√5
Answer:

(A) -2√5 + √3

x. The value of |12 – (13 + 7) x 4| is ____ .
(A) – 68
(B) 68
(C) – 32
(D) 32
Answer:

(B) 68

Hints:
ii. Since the decimal expansion is neither terminating nor recurring, 0.101001000…. is an irrational number.

v. Let x = [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴10 x = [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴10 – x = [/latex]4.\dot { 4 }[/latex] – [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴9x = 4
∴ x = 4/9


∴ Order = 6

ix. The conjugate of 2√5 + √3 is 2√5 – √3 or -2√5 + √3

x. |12 – (13+7) x 4| = |12 – 20 x 4|
= |12 – 80|
= |-68|
= 68


Solution:

∴ 999x = 29539
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 6


∴ 999x = 9306
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 7


Since, three numbers i.e. 4, 1 and 7 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 357417.417417…
∴ 1000x = 357417.417 …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),

∴ 999x = 357060
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 8


∴ x = 30.219219
Since, three numbers i.e. 2, 1 and 9 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x= 30219.219219…

∴ 999x = 30189

Question 4.
Show that 5 + √7 is an irrational number. [3 Marks]
Solution:

Let us assume that 5 + √7 is a rational number. So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 16

Our assumption that 5 + √7 is a rational number is wrong.
∴ 5 + √7 is an irrational number.

∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √32 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 21
Now, 5√2 x √2 = 5 x 2 = 10, which is a rational number.
∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √50 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 22
Now, 3√3 x √3 = 3 x 3 = 9, which is a rational number.
∴ √ 3 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √27 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 23
= 6, which is a rational number.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 24
Now, 18√2 x √2 = 18 x 2 = 36, which is a rational number.
∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of 3√72.

vi. 4√11
4√11 x √11 = 4 x 11 = 44, which is a rational number.
∴ √11 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of 4√11.
