1. Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of:
(i) 135 and 225
(ii) 196 and 38220
(iii) 867 and 255
Answer:
(i) 135 and 225
Since 225 > 135, we apply the division lemma to 225 and 135 to obtain
225 = 135 × 1 + 90
Since remainder 90 ≠0, we apply the division lemma to 135 and 90 to obtain
135 = 90 × 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 90 and new remainder 45, and apply the division lemma to obtain
90 = 2 × 45 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 45,
Therefore, the HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.
(ii) 196 and 38220
Since 38220 > 196, we apply the division lemma to 38220 and 196 to obtain
38220 = 196 × 195 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 196,
Therefore, HCF of 196 and 38220 is 196.
(iii) 867 and 255
Since 867 > 255, we apply the division lemma to 867 and 255 to obtain
867 = 255 × 3 + 102
Since remainder 102 ≠0, we apply the division lemma to 255 and 102 to obtain
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 102 and new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to obtain
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 51, Therefore, HCF of 867 and 255 is 51.
2. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.
Answer:
Let a be a given integer.
On dividing a by 6 , we get q as the quotient and r as the remainder such that,
a = 6q + r, r = 0,1,2,3,4,5
when r =0
a = 6q,even no
where r = 1
a = 6q + 1, odd no
where r = 2
a = 6q + 2, even no
where r = 3
a=6q + 3,odd no
where r = 4
a = 6q + 4, even no
where r = 5
a = 6q + 5, odd no
where r = 6
Therefore, 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are not exactly divisible by 2. Hence, these expressions of numbers are odd numbers.
And therefore, any odd integer can be expressed in the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3,or 6q + 5
3. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march?
Answer:
For the above problem, the maximum number of coulmns would be the HCF of 616 and 32
We can find the HCF of 616 and 32 by using Euclid Division algorithm.
Therefore
616 = 19 x 32 + 8
32 = 4 x 8 + 0
8 = 8 x 1 + 0
Therefore HCF (616, 32) = HCF of (32, 8) = 8
Therefore the maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8.
4. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the square of any positive integer is either of form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m. [Hint: Let x be any positive integer then it is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2. Now square each of these and show that they can be rewritten in the form 3m or 3m + 1.
Answer:
If a and b are two positive integers, then,
Therefore, r = 0, 1, 2
Therefore, a = 3q or a = 3q + 1 or a = 3q + 2
Therefore, the square of any positive integer is either of the form 3m or 3m + 1.
5. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8.
Answer:
Let a be any positive integer and b = 3
a = 3q + r, where q ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ r < 3
Therefore, every number can be represented as these three forms. There are three cases.
Case 1: When a = 3q,
Where m is an integer such that m = (3q)3
Case 2: When a = 3q + 1,
Case 3: When a = 3q + 2,
Therefore, the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1, or 9m + 8.

(v) 7429
Answer:
(i) 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 22 x 5 x 7
(ii) 156 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 = 22 x 3 x 13
(iii) 3825 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 17 = 32 x 52 x x 17
(iv) 5005 = 5 x 7 x 11 x 13
(v) 7429 = 17 x 19 x 23
2. Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM xHCF = product of the two numbers.
(i) 26 and 91
(ii) 510 and 92
(iii) 336 and 54
Answer:
(i) 26 and 91
a = 26, b = 91
∴ H.C.F = 13
L.C.M = 2 × 7 × 13
= 14 × 13 = 182
∴ H.C.F × L.C.M = a × b
13 × 182 = 26 × 96
2366 = 2366
(ii) 510 and 92
a = 510, b = 92
(iii) 336 and 54
a = 336, b = 54Read more on Sarthaks.com – https://www.sarthaks.com/661852/find-the-lcm-and-the-following-pairs-integers-and-verify-that-lcm-hcf-product-the-two-numbers
336= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 24 x 3 x 7
54 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 2 x 33
HCF = 2 x 3 = 6
LCM = 24 x 33 x 7= 3024
Product of two numbers 336 and 54 = 336 x 54= 18144
3024 x 6= 18144
Hence, product of two numbers = 18144
3. Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method.
4. Given that HCF (306, 657) = 9, find LCM (306, 657).
Answer:
HCF (306, 657) = 9
We know that, LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers
L.C.M x H.C.F = first Number x Second Number
L.C.M x 9 = 306 x 657
LCM = 22338
5. Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
Answer:
TO CHECK: Whether 62can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
We know that
62 = (2 × 3)n
62 = (2)n ×(3)n
Therefore, prime factorization of 6ndoes not contain 5 and 2 as a factor together.
Hence 6ncan never end with the digit 0 for any natural number n
6. Explain why 7 x 11 x 13 and 7 x 6 x 5 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 5 are composite numbers.
Answer:
So, the given expression has 6 and 13 as its factors. Therefore, we can conclude that it is a composite number.
Similarly,
7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 5
= 5 x (7 x 6 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 1) [taking 5 out- common]
= 5 x (1008 + 1)
= 5 x 1009
Since, 1009 is a prime number the given expression has 5 and 1009 as its factors other than 1 and the number itself.
Hence, it is also a composite number.
7. There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?
Answer:
It can be observed that Ravi takes lesser time than Sonia for completing 1 round of the circular path. As they are going in the same direction, they will meet again at the same time when Ravi will have completed 1 round of that circular path with respect to Sonia. And the total time taken for completing this 1 round of circular path will be the LCM of time taken by Sonia and Ravi for completing 1 round of circular path respectively i.e., LCM of 18 minutes and 12 minutes.
LCM of 12 and 18= 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36
Therefore, Ravi and Sonia will meet together at the starting point after 36 minutes.
Exercise 1.3
1. Prove that √2 is irrational.
Answer:
Let us prove √2 irrational by contradiction.
Let us suppose that √2 is rational.
So it can be expressed in the form p/q where p, q are co-prime integers and q≠0
Hence, p, q have a common factor 2. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number
√2 is an irrational number.
2. Prove that (3 + 2√5) is irrational.
Answer:
We will prove this by contradiction.
Let us suppose that (3+2√5) is rational.
It means that we have co-prime integers aand b(b ≠0) such that
So, it can be written in the form a/b
3 + 2√5 = a/b
Here a and b are coprime numbers and b ≠0
Solving 3 + 2√5 = a/b we get,
=>2√5 = a/b – 3
=>2√5 = (a-3b)/b
=>√5 = (a-3b)/2b
This shows (a-3b)/2b is a rational number. But we know that √5 is an irrational number.
So, it contradicts our assumption. Our assumption of 3 + 2√5 is a rational number is incorrect.
3 + 2√5 is an irrational number
Hence proved
3. Prove that the following are irrationals.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Answer:
(i) We can proveirrational by contradiction.
Let us suppose thatis rational.
It means we have some co-prime integers a and b (b ≠0) such that
1/√2 = p/q
√2 = q/p
By Squaring on both sides
2 × p2= q2
2, divides q2
∴ 2, divides q
∵ q is an even number.
Similarly ‘p’ is an even number.
∴ p and q are even numbers.
∴ Common factor of p and q is 2.
This contradicts the fact that p and q also irrational.
∴ √2 is an irrational number.
∴ is an irrational number.
(ii) We can proveirrational by contradiction.
Let us suppose thatis rational.
It means we have some co-prime integers a and b (b ≠0) such that
It means √5 which is equal also a rational number.
This contradicts to the fact that √5 is an irrational number.
This contradicts to the fact that 7√5 is rational number.
∴ 7√5 is a rational number.
(iii) We will proveirrational by contradiction.
Let us suppose that () is rational.
It means that we have co-prime integers aand b(b ≠0) such that
∴ √2 is also rational number.
This contradicts to the fact that √2 is an irrational number.
This contradicts to the fact that 6 + √2 is a rational number.
∴ 6 + √2 is an irrational number.
