Question 31.


1551 is a multiplicative inverse of 175.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     7
  4.     711
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Multiplicative inverse of ab is cd if ab×cd=1.
Now, 1551×175=33=1


Question 32.


Product of 76 and reciprocal of 1166 is __________.


  1.     16
  2.     76
  3.     7
  4.     711
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 7
:
C

Reciprocal of 1166=6611
76×6611=7×1111=7


Question 33.


Which of the following statements is incorrect?


  1.     Every whole number is a rational number
  2.     Every integer is a rational number
  3.     Zero is a whole number and it  is rational number too
  4.     Every rational number is not an integer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Zero is a whole number and it  is rational number too
:
C

Zero is a whole number as well as the rational number. Zero can be expressed in the form of pq  as 01. Hence zero is a rational number since it satisfies the definition of rational number where p = 0 and q 0.


 


Question 34.


Which of the following rational numbers are equivalent to 94?


  1.     123
  2.     8125
  3.     6328
  4.     3616
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6328
:
C and D

When we multiply and divide a rational number by the same number, the value of rational number remains unchanged. Therefore,
94×77=632894×44=3616


Question 35.


Which of the following rational numbers lie betwen 37 and 48 ?


  1.     92
  2.     2656
  3.     -2
  4.     1328
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2656
:
B and D

L.C.M of 7 and 8 is 56.
37 and 48 can be written as 2456 and 2856.
Check for numbers which lie between 2456 and 2856.
Now, 1328 = 2656 lies between 37 and 48.


Question 36.


A number which can be represented in the form of pq, q0 where p and q are integers is called a ___ number.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2656
:

A number which can be represented in the form of pq, q0 where p and q are integers is called a rational number.
For example, 23,5, 4 etc are all rational numbers as they can be expressed in pq form with p and q as integers and q0.


Question 37.


The product of two whole numbers is always a whole number.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

If 'a' and 'b' are any two whole numbers, their product will also be a whole number. We know that the multiplication of any two numbers can be expressed as repeated addition of one number. So, if we are adding any whole number to itself again and again, then we will surely get a whole number.
Let's assume a=2,b=3.
a×b=2×3 which is same as adding '2' three times to itself, which will result in a whole number.


Question 38.


Which of the following lies between 254 and 223?


  1.     132
  2.     152
  3.     172
  4.     8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 132
:
A

Rational numbers can be compared by making their denominators equal.
Here, we need to compare all given rational numbers 254,223,132,152,172 and 81.
We know LCM of 1, 2, 3 and 4, i.e., the denominators of the above fractions, is 12.
Converting all the above fractions into like fractions, we get
254=25×34×3=7512
223=22×43×4=8812
132=13×62×6=7812
152=15×62×6=9012
172=17×62×6=10212
8=81=8×121×12=9612
Arranging these fractions in an ascending order, we have
7512,7812,8812,9012,9612,10212
Thus, 132 lies between 254 and 223.


Question 39.


Division of the reciprocal of 511 by 5518 results in 1825.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     0.01
  4.     - 0.01
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Reciprocal of 511 is 115.


115÷5518
=11×185×(55)


=1825


Question 40.


Which operations on whole numbers are commutative?


  1.     Addition
  2.     Multiplication
  3.     Division
  4.     Subtraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Addition
:
A and B

An operation is commutative if changing the order of operands does not change the result.
Addition and multiplication are commutative for whole numbers.
For example, 2+3=5,  3+2=5.
Also, 3×4=12,  4×3=12
