Case Study 2: Srikanth has made a project on real numbers, where he finely explained the
applicability of exponential laws and divisibility conditions on real numbers. He also included
some assessment questions at the end of his project as listed below.

(a) 10
(b) when n is even
(c) when n is odd
(d) no value of n
(ii) If a is a positive rational number and n is a positive integer greater than 1, then for what value
of n, an is a rational number?
(a) when n is any even integer
(b) when n is any odd integer
(c) for all n > 1
(d) only when n=0
(iii) If x and y are two odd positive integers, then which of the following is true?
(a) x2+y2 is even
(b) x2+y2 is not divisible by 4
(c) x2+y2 is odd
(d) both (a) and (b)

(a) always true
(b) always false
(c) sometimes true
(d) None of these
(v) If n is any odd integer, then n2 – 1 is divisible by
(a) 22
(b) 55
(c) 88
(d) 8
Case Study 3:
Mrs. Rakhi lives in an undeveloped area where there is no facility of proper education. But one
thing is available in that area i.e., network. Since she was very keen to take education, so she
decided to complete her education through e-learning.
One day she was studying number system, where she learnt about rational numbers, irrational
numbers and decimal numbers, etc.

On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:

Q 1. Convert the rational number 2/15 into decimal number.
Q 2. Write one irrational number between 2.365 and 3.125 .
Q 3. If x+√2=3, then find the value of 1x.
Q4. Find the product of two irrational numbers (7+3√2) and (7−3√2).
Case Study 4:

(a) 10
(b) when n is even

(ii) If a is a positive rational number and n is a positive integer greater than 1, then for what value
of n, a is a rational number?
(a) when n is any even integer
(b) when n is any odd integer
(c) for all n > 1
(d) only when n=0
(iii) If x and y are two odd positive integers, then which of the following is true?
(a) x2+y2 is even
