Q1 Read the case study based questions carefully and answer any four out of the following:
Real numbers are extremely useful in everyday life. That is probably one of the main reasons we all learn how to count
and add and subtract from a very young age. Real numbers help us to count and to measure out quantities of different
items in various fields like retail, buying, catering, publishing etc. Every normal person uses real numbers in his daily
life. After knowing the importance of real numbers, try and improve your knowledge about them by answering the
following questions on real life-based situations.

i. Three people go for a morning walk together from the same place. Their steps measure 80 cm, 85 cm and 90
cm respectively. What is the minimum distance travelled when they meet at first time after starting the walk
assuming that their walking speed is the same?

ii. In a school Independence Day parade, a group of 594 students need to march behind a band of 189 members.
The two groups have to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns.

iii. Two tankers contain 768 litres and 420 litres of fuel respectively. Find the maximum capacity of the
container which can measure the fuel of either tanker exactly.
