Free Number Systems 01 Practice Test - 9th Grade
Question 1
Choose the correct statements.
1 is the smallest natural number
1 is the smallest whole number
-1 is the smallest negative integer
0 is an integer
SOLUTION
Solution : A and D
Natural numbers are all the counting numbers starting from 1, i.e. {1, 2, 3, ...}
Therefore, statement: '1 is smallest natural number'; is correct.
Whole numbers are all counting numbers and zero, i.e. {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
Therefore, statement: '1 is smallest whole number'; is wrong.
Integers include the set of natural numbers, their negatives and 0; i.e. {...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}. Thus, -1 is the greatest negative integer, not the smallest one.
0 is included among integers.
Hence, the statement is correct.
Question 2
Find the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle whose perpendicular sides are √6 cm and √3 cm.
4 cm
3 cm
2 cm
1 cm
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Given: perpendicular sides of a right angled triangle are √6 and √3.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse = √√62+√32
= √6+3
= √9 cm
= 3 cm
Question 3
Find the value of (3+√5)(3−√5) .
1
SOLUTION
Solution : D
We know the identity:
a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)
(3+√5)(3−√5)=(32−(√5)2=9−5=4
Hence, (3+√5)(3−√5)=4, which is a rational number.
Question 4
2√3×3√2 is
.
SOLUTION
Solution :2√3×3√2=2×3×√2×3=6√6
The presence of factor √6 makes the expression irrational.
Question 5
From the options, choose the irrational numbers that lie between 4 and 9.
√36
√31
√17
√25
SOLUTION
Solution : B and C
6×6 = 36, a perfect square, hence √36 is not irrational .
Also 25 is the perfect square of 5, hence √25 is rational.42=16 & 92=81, hence all the numbers between √16 and √81 lie between 4 and 9.
We can see that √17, √31 are irrational numbers between √16 and √81, and they lie between 4 and 9.
Question 6
Represent 0.45 as a rational number.
45
92
54
920
SOLUTION
Solution : D
To convert 0.45 into a fraction:
0.45=45100
[Multiplying 0.45 with 100100]
Dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5, we get
45100=920∴0.45=920
Question 7
Expand (79)3.
343729
729343
4981
8149
SOLUTION
Solution : A
(79)3=7×7×79×9×7⇒(79)3=343729
Question 8
If (√1024)3=8x, then x is ________.
5
15
10
2
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Given:
(√1024)3=8x⇒(√(210))3=8x.
⇒(√((25)2))3=8x. {as (am)n=amn}⇒(25)3=(23)x
⇒(23)5=(23)x
⇒(8)5= (8)x
We know that, if an= am then, n=m.
Hence,
⇒x=5
Question 9
Which of the following fractions is equal to 1√5−√7?
−(√5+√7)4
−(√5+√7)2
−(√5−√7)2
−(√5+√7)8
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Rationalizing the expression we get,
1√5−√7=√5+√7(√5−√7)(√5+√7)=√5+√7(√5)2−(√7)2
=√5+√75−7
=−(√5+√7)2
Question 10
n√2×n√3=n√6
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : A
We know that n√a×n√b=n√ab
So,n√2×n√3=n√2×3=n√6
