RATIONAL NUMBERS MCQs
:
A
Multiplicative inverse of ab is cd if ab×cd=1.
Now, −1551×−175=33=1
:
C
Reciprocal of 1166=6611
⇒76×6611=7×1111=7

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.

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

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.

A number which can be represented in the form of pq, q≠0 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 q≠0.

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.

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.

Reciprocal of 511 is 115.
115÷−5518
=11×185×(−55)
=−1825

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
