REAL NUMBERS-KEY POINTS


(A) Main Concepts and Results
• Euclid’s Division Lemma :
Given two positive integers a and b, there exist unique
integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r,  0 £ r < b.

• Euclid’s Division Algorithm to obtain the HCF of two positive integers, say c and d, c > d.

Step 1 : Apply Euclid’s division lemma to c and d, to find whole numbers q and r, such that c = dq + r,  
 0 £r < d.

Step 2 : If r = 0, d is the HCF of c and d. If r ≠¹ 0, apply the division lemma to d and r.

Step 3 : Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be the required HCF.

• Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic : Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes, and this expression (factorisation) is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.

• Let p be a prime number. If p divides a2, then p divides a, where a is a positive integer.

• √2 , √3 , √5 are irrational numbers.

The sum or difference of a rational and an irrational number is irrational.
The product or quotient of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

For any two positive integers a and b,
    HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b.

Let x = p/q , p and q are co-prime, be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates. Then, the prime factorisation of q is of the form 2m.5n; m, n are
non-negative integers.

• Let x p/q be a rational number such that the prime factorisation of q is not of the form 2m.5n; m, n being non-negative integers. Then, x has a non-terminating
repeating decimal expansion.

(C) Short Answer Questions with Reasoning
Sample Question 1: The values of the remainder r, when a positive integer a is divided by 3 are 0 and 1 only. Justify your answer.
Solution : No.
According to Euclid’s division lemma,
a = 3q + r, where 0 £ r < 3 and r is an integer. Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.

Sample Question 2: Can the number 6n, n being a natural number, end with the digit 5? Give reasons.
Solution : No, because 6n = (2 × 3)n = 2n × 3n, so the only primes in the factorisation of 6n are 2 and 3, and not 5. Hence, it cannot end with the digit 5.

EXERCISE 1.2
1. Write whether every positive integer can be of the form 4q + 2, where q is an integer. Justify your answer.

2. “The product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2”. Is this statement true or false? Give reasons.

6. The numbers 525 and 3000 are both divisible only by 3, 5, 15, 25 and 75. What is HCF (525, 3000)? Justify your answer.

7. Explain why 3 × 5 × 7 + 7 is a composite number.

8. Can two numbers have 18 as their HCF and 380 as their LCM? Give reasons.

10. A rational number in its decimal expansion is 327.7081. What can you say about the prime factors of q, when this number is expressed in the form p/q ? Give reasons.


(D) Short Answer Questions
Sample Question 1: Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find which of the following
pairs of numbers are co-prime:
(i) 231, 396 (ii) 847, 2160
Solution : Let us find the HCF of each pair of numbers.
(i) 396 = 231 × 1 + 165
231 = 165 × 1 + 66
165 = 66 × 2 + 33
66 = 33 × 2 + 0
Therefore, HCF = 33. Hence, numbers are not co-prime.
(ii) 2160 = 847 × 2 + 466
847 = 466 × 1 + 381
466 = 381 × 1 + 85
381 = 85 × 4 + 41
85 = 41 × 2 + 3
41 = 3 × 13 + 2
3 = 2 × 1 + 1
2 = 1 × 2 + 0
Therefore, the HCF = 1. Hence, the numbers are co-prime.

Sample Question 2: Show that the square of an odd positive integer is of the form 8m + 1, for some whole number m.
Solution: Any positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1, where q is a whole number.
Therefore, (2q + 1)2 = 4q2 + 4q + 1 = 4q (q + 1) + 1, (1)
q (q + 1) is either 0 or even. So, it is 2m, where m is a whole number.
Therefore, (2q + 1)2 = 4.2 m + 1 = 8 m + 1. [From (1)]

Sample Question 3: Prove that √2 + 3 is irrational.
Solution : Let us suppose that 2 + 3 is rational. Let 2 + 3 = a , where a is rational.
Therefore, √2 = a- 3
Squaring on both sides, we get

2 = a2 + 3 – 2a √3
Therefor
3= a2 +1/2a
 which is a contradiction as the right hand side is a rational number while√ 3 is irrational. Hence, √2 + √3 is irrational.

EXERCISE 1.3
1. Show that the square of any positive integer is either of the form 4q or 4q + 1 for some integer q.
2. Show that cube of any positive integer is of the form 4m, 4m + 1 or 4m + 3, for some integer m.

6. If n is an odd integer, then show that n2 – 1 is divisible by 8.

7. Prove that if x and y are both odd positive integers, then x2 + y2 is even but not divisible by 4.

8. Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of 441, 567, 693.

9. Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find the largest number that divides 1251, 9377 and 15628 leaving remainders 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

10. Prove that 3+ 5 is irrational.

11. Show that 12n cannot end with the digit 0 or 5 for any natural number n.

13. Write the denominator of the rational number
257/ 5000 in the form 2m × 5n, where m, n are non-negative integers. Hence, write its decimal expansion, without actual division.

14. Prove that p + q is irrational, where p, q are primes.

(E) Long Answer Questions
Sample Question 1 : Show that the square of an odd positive integer can be of the
form 6q + 1 or 6q + 3 for some integer q.
Solution : We know that any positive integer can be of the form 6m, 6m + 1, 6m + 2,
6m + 3, 6m + 4 or 6m + 5, for some integer m.
Thus, an odd positive integer can be of the form 6m + 1, 6m + 3, or 6m + 5
Thus we have:
(6 m +1)2 = 36 m2 + 12 m + 1 = 6 (6 m2 + 2 m) + 1 = 6 q + 1, q is an integer
(6 m + 3)2 = 36 m2 + 36 m + 9 = 6 (6 m2 + 6 m + 1) + 3 = 6 q + 3, q is an integer
(6 m + 5)2 = 36 m2 + 60 m + 25 = 6 (6 m2 + 10 m + 4) + 1 = 6 q + 1, q is an integer.
Thus, the square of an odd positive integer can be of the form 6q + 1 or 6q + 3.

EXERCISE 1.4
1. Show that the cube of a positive integer of the form 6q + r, q is an integer and
r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is also of the form 6m + r.

2. Prove that one and only one out of n, n + 2 and n + 4 is divisible by 3, where n is any positive integer.
