  3.     0.01
  4.     - 0.01
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> - 0.1
:
B

The reciprocal of any non-zero number 'a' is 1a.
​​​​​​The reciprocal of '-10' = 1(10)=0.1


Question 42.


Which of the following is a rational number between 13 and  53 ?


  1.     73
  2.     43
  3.     53
  4.     63
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 43
:
B

In the fractions 13 and  53, the denominators are same.
So, considering numerator values, we can find the required rational number.
4 lies between 1 and 5.
So, keep 4 in the numerator and keep the same denominator as it is.
The required rational number is 43.


Question 43.


For what value of x, 12x is equal to 3?


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

12x=3
123=x
Or
x=4


Question 44.


By what rational number should we divide 227 so as to get the number 1114?


  1.     - 2
  2.     57
  3.     127
  4.     -4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> -4
:
D

Let the rational number be x.


227÷x  = 1114 (given)


227=x×1114
227÷1114=x
227×1411=x


x=4
Therefore, 227 should be divided by -4 to get 1114.


Question 45.


(59÷13)÷52=59÷(13÷52).


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     53
  4.     63
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Let's first evaluate LHS.


(5913)×152=59676


Now, RHS
59×(5213)


=306813


We see that both LHS and RHS are not equal.


Question 46.


How many natural numbers are there
between 310  and710?


  1.     0
  2.     1
  3.     2
  4.     3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:
A

Natural numbers start from 1 and goes on as 2, 3, 4, ...


310=0.3 and  710=0.7
Thus, there are no natural numbers between 0.3 and 0.7.


Question 47.


The number of natural numbers between 15 and 20 is  ___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:

There are only 4 natural numbers between 15 and 20 which are 16, 17, 18 and 19.


Question 48.


The additive identity for rational numbers is 0.


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

Zero is the additive identity for rational numbers, integers and whole numbers, as adding zero to these numbers does not affect its value.


Eg:a+0=0+a=a.


Question 49.


Rational numbers can be represented on the number line.


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

All real numbers can be represented on a number line and rational numbers are also real numbers. Thus rational numbers can also be represented on the number line.


Question 50.


Multiplication of a number with its reciprocal gives ___.


 Discuss Question
