Solution

1. b. 3
Explanation: Prime factorization of 864 = =
Therefore the exponent of 3 in the prime factorization of 864 is 3

2. c.
Explanation: has terminal decimal expansion because terminal decimal
expansion should have the denominator 2 or 5 only.

3. b. 3 decimal places
Explanation: = =

Here, in the denominator of the given fraction the highest power of prime
factor 5 is 3, therefore, the decimal expansion of the rational number will

terminate after 3 decimal places.

4. b. 1080
Explanation: LCM (12, 15, 18, 27) = 540
Now, smallest four digit number = 1000
1000 540 = 1 540 + 460 (Remainder = 460)
Therefore, the smallest number of 4 digits exactly divisible by 12, 15, 18 and 27
is 1000 + (540 – 460) = 1000 + 80 = 1080

5. c. 1679
Explanation: Dividend = Divisor Quotient + Remainder
Number(dividend) = D Q+R
Therefore the number (Dividend) = 61 27 + 32
= 1647 + 32 = 1679

6. As we know that, HCF LCM = Product of two numbers

LCM (306, 657) = = = 22338.

7. According to the question,

The given number is
 Clearly, none of is a factor of 129.
So, the number will have a non terminating decimal expansion.

8. Using prime factorization, we have

9.

Using Identity

Using Identity

10. Let x = ......(i)

1000000x = 27142857.142857 ......(ii)
Subtract (i) from (ii)
999999x = 27142830
x = 27142830/999999
999999 = 3 × 3 × 111111

11. Let us consider is a rational number that can be written as

=a

Squaring both sides, we get

⇒ 5 = (a)2

⇒ = a2 + 3 - 5

⇒ = a2 - 2

As a2 – 2, 2a are integers .

So is also rational but is not rational which contradicts our consideration.

Since a rational number cannot be equal to an irrational number . Our assumption
that √3 + √5 is rational wrong .
So, is irrational.
12. The given number is .

Clearly, none of 2, 5 and 7 is a factor of 129.

So, the given rational is in its simplest form.
And,
is a non-terminating repeating decimal.

As the given number contains a factor 72 in it's denominator so it is non-terminating

repeating decimal.

13. We need to find the largest number which exactly divides 280 and 1245 leaving
remainders 4 and 3, respectively. The required number when divides 280 and 1245,
leaves remainder 4 and 3, this means
280 - 4 = 276 and 1245 - 3 = 1242 are completely divisible by the number.
Therefore, the required number = H.C.F. of 276 and 1242.
By applying Euclid’s division lemma:
1242 = 276 4 + 138
276 = 138 2 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F of 276 and 1242 = 138.
Hence, the required number is 138.

14.

Since, therefore,
(x+3) and (x-4) are factors of p(x), As (x-4) is already seen
in p(x) and (x+3) is also a factor of p(x).
Thus, by factor theorem, x + 3 = 0
Hence,

Again,

Since,
, by factor theorem Q(4) must equal to 0.
 Hence, a = 6, b = -2

15. Let 3 + is a rational number.

Now in RHS is rational

This shows that is rational
But this contradict the fact that is irrational, This is because we assumed that 3 +
is a rational number.
is an irrational number.

16. According to question,

Now

( by multiplying and dividing by 52 )

= 0.06025

17. A sweet seller has 420 kaju barfis and 130 badam barfis
HCF(420, 130) will give the maximum number of barfis that can be placed in each
stack.
By Euclid’s division algorithm,

∴ The sweet seller can make stacks of 10 for both kinds of barfis.
18. we have to Use Euclid's Division Lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer
is of the form 9m, 9m + 1, or 9m + 8 for some integer m.
Let a = 3q + r, 0 r<3
or a = 3q, 3q + 1 and 3q + 2
Case I : a = 3q

or a3 = (3q)3 = 27q3 = 9(3q3)

= 9m where m = 3q3
Case II : a = 3q + 1

a3 = (3q + 1)3

= 27q3 + 9q(3q + 1) + 1
= 9m + 1

where m = 3q3 + 3q2 + 1

Case III : a 3q + 2

a3 = (3q + 2)3

= 27q3 + 18q(3q + 2) + 8

= 9(3q3 + 6q2 + 4q)+ 8

= 9m + 8

where m = 3q2 + 6q2 + 4q

From Case I, II and III, we conclude that the cube of any positive integer is of the form
9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8 for some integer m.

19. By Euclid’s division algorithm

a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Put b = 3
a = 3q + r, where 0 ≤ r ≤ 3
If r = 0, then a = 3q
If r = 1, then a = 3q + 1
If r = 2, then a = 3q + 2

Now, (3q)2 = 9q2

= 3 × 3q2
= 3m, where m is some integer
 (3q + 1)2 = (3q)2 + 2(3q)(1) + (1)2

= 9q2 + 6q + 1

= 3(3q2 + 2q) + 1
= 3m + 1, where m is some integer

(3q + 2)2 = (3q)2 + 2(3q)(2) + (2)2

= 9q2 + 12q + 4

= 9q2 + 12q + 4

= 3(3q2 + 4q + 1) + 1
= 3m + 1, where m is some integer
Hence the square of any positive integer is of the form 3m, or 3m +1
But not of the form 3m + 2

20. Since both x and y are positive odd integers x = 2m + 1 and y = 2n + 1, where m and n
are some whole numbers.

= 4q + 2, where q = m2 + m + n2 + n, which is a whole number.

We note that 4q + 2 is an even integer but leaves reminder 2 when divided by 4.

Hence, x2 + y2 is an even integer but not divisible by 4.
